What are some good diet and fitness options for my body type?

I am of slight build and find it very difficult to gain weight, and would like to learn of some good health options, particularly dietary, that would help me gain muscle. I intend to research exercise regimes also, but for now I would appreciate simple diet information, please.What are some good diet and fitness options for my body type?A good bodybuilding diet needs to follow 3 rules:

1.It should favor smaller and frequent feedings throughout the day

instead of smaller ones.

2.Every meal should have carbohydrates, protein and fat in the

correct ratios: 40% carbs, 40% protein, 20 % good fats.

3.The calories should be cycled to prevent the metabolism from

getting used to a certain caloric level.

Definitely make sure that you cover at least the basics of

grams of Vitamin C split in 3 equal servings throughout the day,
