If he had been more careful (giving him the benefit of the doubt) or knowledgeable (less flattering interpretation) then he might have said "replace". I've heard a lot of people spout off about "making fat into muscle" - enough to know that it is a very common misconception that I suspect he probably harbors too - based on the way it was presented.
