Let him pout...
Continue to make nutritious meals you and the kids can enjoy. I've found a few convenience foods that help when my kids want carbs, and I'm feeling "weak" to them. Schwans has single-serve stuffed potatoes, and there are many others on the market that you take out individual portions of. They each get their potato, and no leftovers, tasting, etc. for ME to endure.
My daughter is getting better at making the "starches" herself, too. I'm in charge of the meat and veggies, she makes the rice, pasta, or beans. If your hubby wants these foods, maybe he'll have to pitch in.
It's not uncommon for loved ones to sabotage diet efforts... but that's showing HIS insecurity. If he won't change his behavior, you'll have to change yours. Offer him some choices, like helping you cook, then back away. You don't need to suffer because of someone else's issues.
