I believe he means "the rest" but yeah, it's pretty easy for diet. To lose weigh make a deficit, to gain weight make a surplus; about 300-500 calories in either case. Simple as that

thats common sense,
for someone whos trying to gain fat,
higher caloric intake results in fat
protein is the only muscle building synthesizer

Muscles are made up of more than just protein.. It's a major component but they need fat and carbs as well

of course your body needs carbs and fats for fuel, but the only thing your muscles use to grow is protein, Protein is the main macronutrient needed to provide muscle-building amino acids to your body.
