no, it's any food. what he eats turns to fat quickly, so he hardly eats any oily foods or sugary foods and doesn't eat big portions. some people just burn energy more quickly, it's how it is.
Honest advice for weight loss?

Best advice I can think of is enjoy life. And it isn't that simple as it sounds. Think about all the things you could do with light training and good eating. Enjoy the quality of food, not processed junk. Take aim at a marathon, a cancer walk or even a weekend hike with friends. I personally am training for next year's Trans Am bike race. It's an ultra endurance bike race across America and I am readying my body for 15-18 hours on the saddle. But that's me and my training is pretty light believe it or not. I spent 2.5 hours on the elliptical, burned 1500 calories. I watched 6 episodes of Naruto anime and just had my mind in another place while my body did a light workout. In the afternoon I used a stationary bike, just sit down and watch 6 episodes or a movie while maintaining 80-90 cadence. That's another 1500 calorie burn. I was a bit pudgy when I started, but wanted to bring my body weight down for cycling. Starting at 205lbs I dropped 25 lbs in a month and increased my food intake for my body to produce more output. You don't have to drop a pound a day and cutting your food intake has really bad consequences. Your body won't hold up and you will lose fat disproportionately in you race and other places, starving yourself. Your joints will weaken and such exercise won't allow you to recuperate from a the stress you are putting your body through. Take care of your body, but don't be afraid to challenge yourself.

I am not sure about the pasta an white rice rule. Look around you in Italy, a pasta-loving land with farfalle, penne, fusilli, lasagne qnd all the assortiment. Italian boys and men generally take pride in their appearance, despite the delices made by La Mamma... The same counts for all these slim Japanese, Thai, etc. with their love for white rice. I think it is wise portioning and a food regime which does the trick: not the mega portions of pasta you get in the USA and not grazing all day but only eating for breakfast, lunch, the early evening intermezzo and the diner, which tends to be late, 21.00 o'clock in mediterrean countries. That late diner causes you don't snack in front of the telly: your stomach is full. The portitioning and the regime, that is the trick, not carbs treated as a plague.
Losing weight is not easy, but more and more the research is saying cut carbs. That means starches, sugars, and alcohol. But that doesn't mean high protein. And yes, eat fats. For me, the easiest diet is Don't Eat Anything White,. No milk, flour, rice, sugar, pasta, etc. Makes it easy and surprisingly close to a low carb diet. Excess protein is converted and can also make you fat.
You mean 2900 kilo calories - same mistake below : less than 2k calories - even a cup of thee has more.
The unit is kcal (kilocalorie).

Hmm. Does the average man not need 2.5k calories a day and a women need 2k calories a day? I have read this so many times. Never herd of kilocalorie till now.
So 2 and an half million calories for a man - 2 million calories for a woman.
But the unit is kcal and 1kcal = 1000 calories.
So :
Within a healthy, balanced diet, a man needs around 10,500kJ (2,500kcal) a day to maintain his weight. For a woman, that figure is around 8,400kJ (2,000kcal) a day. These values can vary depending on age, metabolism and levels of physical activity, among other things.

Start doing squats and deadlifts. It will help you burn fat. They work most of the muscles in your body.
