Tell him that he either shuts up or you start reconsidering the relationship. You can't stay with someone who blatantly criticizes you without giving a shit about your feelings.
Even if you are overweight (which I’ve no idea if you are or not?!) and he is aiming to address that, he should be approaching it in a kind and constructive way.
When you disagree with him about other things, how is his communication style? Is he dismissive/rude/unhelpful? If so, this is a bigger issue on his part and unless he is willing to acknowledge and resolve it then you will struggle to get anywhere with fixing this.
He’s not upset because you “mentioned your feelings,”. He’s mad because he’s communicated an issue and you doubled-down and disregarded it.
That’s your prerogative, but understand he’s got his own prerogatives as well and may act accordingly.
As for the eggshells, it’s difficult to say how they come into play, given the story you’ve shared here. It doesn’t exactly sound like either of you are having issues saying what you really mean, at least.
Your husband is concerned about your health and appearance. If you don’t care that he may be losing attraction due to this, you are right, it’s his problem. But don’t complain when he leaves or seeks out others.
No where in your story did you say he called you fat. He commented on your eating habits. Is this something you feel needs to be addressed? If not, then ignore it. He has opinions on what he wants in a partner, and you have yours.
I’m definitely not overweight. I’m actually under weight.
Time to walk away. That's not cool and it seems he doesn't respect you in any way.
Are you trying to get to a healthy weight? Because if you are he is bringing up a valid point, you need a balanced diet and a good amount of protein. Carbs are just sugar. I know for me if I don’t eat enough protein and just carbs I get tired way quicker
Sounds like he is, right you can't take criticism.
There a huge difference between “constructive criticism” and “being a jerk”…

Saying you eat too many carbs is not calling you "fat" or a dick thing to say. Only someone who cannot take criticism would see that simple comment as insulting
