Mate search on here for diet plans as this is covered so much. Basically low reps heavy weights, 1-1.5g of protein per pound of weight. With building muscle you'll also find you put on weight, no way around this i'm afraid. You should be eating around 5-6 times a day.

There isn't a specific diet. It's just high protein and high carbs.
Nuts, Chicken, Fish, Turkey, Eggs, etc.

You will put on weight and lose abs (if bulking properly)

Everyone needs higher carbs and protein than the average man, the amount extra depends on the person. Its up to him to find the balance
