The body doesn't care if you eat two proteins at once.  At least it's  
never bothered my body, I'll put it that way.

He's going to have to keep his calories high to sustain all that  
activity.  So he's either going to have to increase food quantity, or  
increase caloric density.  If his system can tolerate it, dried fruit is  
extremely calorie dense, and can be eaten without preparation "on the  
go".  Nuts are also calories dense and can be eaten quick and easy.  He'd  
want to get plenty of protein to repair the muscles from all the work.   
But overall, I don't think he'd have any particular problems with a paleo  
diet, as long as he kept up the calories.

As for your other question (in a separate message) about whether there are  
any paleo foods that have to used in moderation, I think that's going to  
depend greatly on the individual, their condition, situation, tolerances,  
and goals.  The same would be true of any diet, paleo or otherwise.
