    2 lbs/week is very aggressive.
    His TDEE will be ~2000 calories, if he is doing no exercise.
    So he will prolly want to do about 1500 - 1700 calories daily....1500 being on the more aggressive end.....

    Just fyi,
    Ultimately, it will come with a desire on his part....you can't force it, or you will be babysitting him all the way.....and that will get old real quick.
    Not to mention the frustration both of you will have towards each other.....

    Weight loss is one of those things that has to start with the person first.

    Ok the bmr is about 1800 so cut about 300 and do some cardio to cut 200 more so 500.How about that?
