Default Diet help for a friend

Hey everyone, I'm trying to help out a buddy of mine, and i'm a little out of my element with this one. Here are his stats

Age. 25
ht. 6'2
wt. 358

He works out 4 times a week, alternating between lifting, eliptical, swimming. Now here is the hard part. He has convinced himself that its healthier to eat vegitarian ... which I definately dont agree with. We've debated this at length, and he wont listen to reason. He doesnt eat nearly enough cals daily, having only 3 vegitarian meals a day.

I've tried to explain to him that he is going to need upwards of 500g or so of protien, and getting that from vegitarian sources will be dam near impossible. I dislike the meat hating which makes this hard for me. Any advice on the subject he and I would really appreciate.
