another thing that may help is whatever his favorite meal is   say  burgeres fries and a milkshake        make it at home with his   have him chop things up   you could use lean beef  and make homeade fries instead of frying them drizzle them with olive oil and season  or make sweet potato fries i find kids love them  and for like the milkshake use fat free ice cream  or low fat and for a little extra treat let him put whatever he wants into it.     he'll feel proud he helped you cook and its much lower in fat and calories.
