Chris n TJ made the sensible suggestion of "bulking up" his meals with raw veg. My mother did this with an old and hideously overweight lab she took on (owners were moving abroad and couldn't find a home for him, so my family took him on). Just add some raw, chopped up veg to bulk out the meal (carrots work well), and the dog wont feel so deprived. Obviously check with your vet first.
As for food scattering...when our dogs were younger we used to have a big bard ball that you could fill with kibble and when the dogs nosed it along the ground it would randomly drop out bits of kibble. The dogs loved it and it gave them hours of entertainment.0
