In my case weight gain depended on my age and more with when my metabolism finally slowed down a bit. Which is the case with most guy's.
So I was tall and really lean muscle and could not gain any weight. I would lift weights, drink huge calorie weight gain shakes, eat fast food & junk like donuts etc. when I was younger to try and get as much calories in to gain. I would gain some weight after several weeks to a month with eating and consuming many many calories maybe 5-7 Lbs. but the workouts turned it mostly into slightly bigger muscle still lean and I couldn't even pinch much belly fat at all. Back in those days I was trying to get the all over bulkier build and didn't mind some belly fat, in fact I kind of wanted a belly along with bulkier muscles. After i slowed down on eating that much, which was impossible for me to keep up, I would lose all the weight.
All of a sudden when I hit 25 yrs. old my metabolism changed and I began to gain weight. At this stage of my life I wasn't playing any more competitive sports and I had a desk job. My eating fast food and junk food any time I wanted didn't change. in the course of 2 years my total body changed from Tall, thin lean muscle to Big, bulky muscle with a fat gut. I gained around 60 Lbs. in that time. During the beginning I didn't even realize I was gaining weight because I never could ever gain weight before without huge effort. During this time I was living with a serious girlfriend and she was always cooking and baking and we were like a young married couple.
Obviously all these factors played a roll but it is usually age, metabolism changing and stage of life with activity.
Mine happened to develop all at the same time and it was a big bang.
As far as your Partner eating a bunch of junk food, I don't think it is that terrible being that he is so under weight and if he is fairly young. It would be a good idea to try and have him consume a ton of carbohydrates along with protein to give him a hearty base along with fatty desserts afterwards.
How old is he? Do you want your partner to gain a lot more?
