I'm trying to lose while he is trying to gain...

I am 25, had a baby within the past year, and want to lose 44 pounds (already lost 11).  My fiance is 30, is underweight, and is trying to gain 40-50 pounds.  It is IMPOSSIBLE for us to eat the same meals and hit our goals.  What can I do to increase the calories in his meals while keeping mine low?  My daily calorie goal is 1200-1300.  I don't even know what his should be...

Cook two different meals?

Or he can always just eat more :)

 I created him an account on here, and his calorie goal is 2300.  He also doesn't like to eat a lot - any ideas for high calorie foods?  He already goes through a 2 liter of mountain dew a day (800 calories), but he just can't seem to put on any weight.

lol.. wow.. well men are suppose to eat a lot.

He needs to hang out with my bf and he'll def. gain some weight.

Or chill with my mother in law, she'll make him fat in a month lol..

And if I can maintain weight at 2300, then he needs to add more to it.

If he doesn't like to eat then he'll always be thin.

Well first he needs to chose the right calories.  Mountain Dew will give him wieght but it will also lead to high cholesteral and a heart attack.  Tell him to stick with carbohydrates and protiens.

If your fiance doesn't like to eat a lot look into protien shakes for him.  While being a healthy wieght is important I would worry if he's only eating food that are high in fat and sugar.

As far as cooking goes you guys can eat the same things.  My husband and I cook together everyday.  My food generally gets baked or grilled while his is fried on the stove.  Veggies are steamed or raw and he covers his with ranch and cheese and I eat mine plain.  His baked potato is loaded with sour cream, mine is plain, ect.
