Some people are perfectly content being fat and strong, some are fine being 150lbs with abs. It all depends on what YOU want. My suggestion to him was to focus on lifting heavy and cleaning the diet up. I started with very similar stats to him, 6-1 235-240ish, and got down to 200 from lifting almost every day and doing hill sprints 1-2x week. Then I started adding size and now im back up to 220ish and will continue to try and gain. Do i have ripped abs? nope, but im definitely not soft and felt pretty anorexic when close to 200lbs. The fat comes off pretty damn easy once you have a nice base of muscle to work with. This is why it will be easy for Lewdog to lean out if he so chooses.
Like I said it all depends on what YOUR goals are and I only suggested what worked for me, since we had similar stats.
