Eating To Build Muscle
In order to build mew muscle you need to feed your body with fuel so it can grow. If you cast your mind back to the days of doing biology at school then the first lesson you would have learnt is that protein is the building block of life. Therefore in order to build muscle you need a high protein diet. 
To build muscle you need to regularly feed your body with food and keeping it in an anabolic (growth) state. You can do this by eating 6 meals a day.
If your naturally skinny and want to gain weight then you need to consume more calories then your body can burn.
To work out how many calories you need to eat each day in order to gain weight then you can do this simple sum.
Bodyweight in lbs x 15 = Calories needed per diet meal plan
For a more aggressive approach and rapid weight gain then you can multiply it by 20. Remember gaining weight will also naturally lead to an increase in fat deposits so keep this in mind.
To find out how many you need for each meal simply divide the total by how many meals you eat per day.
Your meals should consist of proteins, complex carbohydrates and healthy fats.

Eating To Loose Weight
If fat loss is your main goal then you need to take what you eat seriously. A poor diet will result in failure.
The key to fat loss is to burn more calories then you consume. This is often called a calorie deficit and is an effective way to loose weight.
A calorie deficit can be achieved by combining a calorie controlled diet and exercise to give you that double edged sword effect. You will burn calories from the exercise and if you consume fewer then you will hit your fat reserves quicker.
The foods you should be eating are similar to those in a muscle building diet plan and each meal should consist of proteins, complex carbohydrates and fats.
