If he could somehow follow an RFL diet or a keto diet like tons of people have already suggested he would have no problem. He could lose 10lbs a month or more with those diets.
This is a good point so maybe I should revisit the RFL Handbook's guidelines no that you mention it.
Weight: 240
BF%: 25-26% (Cat. 3)
Recommendation: 1g to 1.25g protein per lb LBM = 180g to 220g per day
Strategy: Reduce fats and carbs as much as possible to get calories as low as possible.
The problem I see it is this:

Table 2: Low-fat and low-carbohydrate protein sources
Skinless chicken breast: watch out for various flavorings on commercial products
Low-fat fish: tuna, cod, halibut, flounder, lobster, crab
Extremely lean red meat: 95-98% fat free
Fat free dairy: includes fat free cheese and cottage cheese, see note on dairy below
Egg whites
Beef jerky: can contain quite a few carbs depending on the flavoring Protein powder: see comments below
...Most of those foods taste terrible, aside from cod, lobster and crab, but you always drench those in butter and or/bread crumbs...
It does look like am going to have to figure out some more recipes using skinless chicken breast, though. It's not too bad as long as it's not overcooked, but it gets old very fast.
spices, half cooked eggs, tomatoes, paprika, Tabasco, the various othe or spices. those cam add variety as well as changing up the veggies.
get ground chicken with piman and you can cook those delicious nikuzume. You're mostly limited by your own creativity.
