Whinge over DHs Diet & Weight

I just don't get it! DH is tall and slim but has the worst diet, think McDonalds Breakfasts, Greggs Lunch 3/4 times a week and countless fancy meals out with clients. He will eat a family sized bar of chocolate plus crisps / sweets / cans of beer every single night - but his weight has never changed in the 15yrs we've been together.
I don't get how he can eat so unhealthy and be so slim! I exercise more, count calories daily and have been fasting 16:8 for a Year - if I was to eat the same as him I would be huge. I know it's all down to metabolism blah blah blah.. but it still baffles Me! I'm not overweight and have maintained a good BMI for a long time now, I just wish I could indulge as much as he does Grin

His insides might not look so healthy though op, plus it can change with age, my dh was similar til he hit his late 40's and then started to get a belly on him. He's put any fat on in the tummy while the rest of him still stays very slim, I've mentioned accumulating fat round the middle is bad for so many health reasons, he says but the rest of me is slim!

It's not fair is it? My DH is the same, can eat like a horse but still lose weight. If I try match him, I'd end up a stone heavier! We both have physical, busy lives, and he's a little older than me, but it's not fair! He is losing weight and I'm worried it'll find me! It's making meal planning and shopping hard, as he needs to (and can) eat loads, but I really need to exist on salads!
