    How much are you currently eating? That's going to help decide how much you should start eating at. As for how many meals it doesn't really matter as long as you get your calories in. I'd say at least 3 though (especially breakfast) to avoid wanting to eat too much at meal time. Also if you want to gain muscle I would lift weights. Push-ups and pull-ups are great, but you really want to lift weights too if you want to add muscle.
