He usually is pretty late getting home from work, and has to unwind and take a shower before he even can think about eating, so most nights he is eating too late, and then going to bed with that full stomach. His breakfast usually consists of grabbing a cup of coffee on the way out the door, so by lunchtime he is quite hungry and goes to a fast food place. So just by his habits, he has packed on too many pounds.
I agree that some people have a heavier build than others. Some people are naturally thin, some are not. BUT, I think it is pretty proven that it isn't really when you eat, or really, what you eat. It is a straight caloric equation. If you eat too many calories (more than your body needs or uses up in a day) you will put on weight- usually in fat, unless you are doing something to the muscle (like resistence training (be it in the gym or through your work). Fat is fat....no matter from what source it is derived, or from what hour it is ingested.
