Agree. Your dad is more active than many obese adults.
Another easy method for portion control would be the plate method. Prescription solutions has a nice one. It is for diabetes but a lot of doctors, dieticians, and nurses are using it for portion control and weight loss too. Here's a link to the page that has a downloadable PDF that's very nice. I think it's called my plate planner it's one of the first links there.

Also why the "or else?" If it's medical then insurance may very well pay for a consult with a dietician and even if they don't it might be worth the cost of a consult. They can help set up an individualized meal plan for him.
Good luck. And it's nice of you to help your dad.
