Don’t disagree, although I think the label for what he’s doing is just arguing over semantics. Everyone agrees he needs to clean up his diet. It makes sense for him to go with the diet first - but some beginners mess that up completely.
I think someone already addressed this, but make sure you’re getting enough protein - 1g/lb - and eating 1/2 cup to 1 cup of vegetables after every meal. Don’t count calories. If you count calories too drastically, you can end up lowering your metabolism. Only eat complex carbs and only eat non-veggie carbs after a workout. You should not be necessarily eating fewer calories at the beginning, just better food. And as OctoberGirl said, keep a log. Go back to the log every couple of weeks to make sure you’re still on track.
