    if you don't want to bulk then you can't gain muscle.

    come back when you are read to bulk.

    Try to figure out what your TDEE is. You'll need to know how much energy you're body is burning daily to figure out where to start. Otherwise based on weight & goals MFP will set you a preliminary calorie goal based on info given. Sounds like you may be wanting a recomp instead of a bulk. Check out the bodybuilders.com or muscleforlife.com sites for more info.

    actually it sounds like you do want to bulk. you just don't know it yet.

    If you are 'skinny', and want to gain size, you pretty much will have to bulk. If you stay the same weight, you can gain muscle - but you will be losing fat, and if you are already skinny, then this approach would not make sense. If you want to stay lean but gain size, then you should do a lean bulk (mild surplus) and make sure you have your training dialed in.
