Well, based on his statistics, and assuming he doesn't exercise.....

His maintenance level is about 2500 calories per day.....so if he eats 2500 calories a day on average, he's not going to lose any weight.

If he wants to lose half a pound per week on average, he should be shooting for 2250 calories a day on average, and NO more.

If he wants to lose 1lb per week on average, he should be shooting for 2000 calories a day on average, and NO more.

If he wants to lose 1.5lbs a week on average, he should be shooting for 1750 calories a day on average.

If he wants to lose 2lbs a week on average, he should be shooting for 1500 calories a day on average.

Hope this helps!
