A high carb/high fat diet, especially if the fats are trans-fats, will put fat on you but it'll also give you heart disease. Your friend is right, protein will do you no good to build muscle unless your body has a reason to do so and the gym or just bodyweight exercise at home is a great way to tell your body to grow. Cardio excercise, btw, won't give your body reason to grow. You need things like push-ups, pull-ups, and deep knee bends. A good rule of thumb is if you can do more than 15 reps of those exercises on your 6th set you needs weights.
