I'm a pretty small guy. quite skinny. so i've been thinking to join up to the gym and maybe put on some muscle/weight.
i'm not looking to be big and bulky.. just a little bigger with a little muscle and toned.
im completely new to this and have no idea what types of food i should be eating or the exercises i should be doing.
i've just been told carbs before and protein after?
any advice?

What you'll find is you'll need to try different things for a few months to see what works for you! Over 10years of training I've seen many people fail to reach there goal because they do the wrong thing!
Firstly you need to start by looking at your current diet! If you eat loads and loads and have junk and fatty foods often, and your still skinny then you're not going to find it easy to get bigger as such, thats just how your born!
What you need to do is get into a routine of eating in a way to get your weight up abit in order to go to the gym and get the muscle you want!
Muscle building is simple, forget the number of reps, for get the weights as everyone is different...
Just remember, if it aint hurting, it aint working! You need to make sure the last 2 reps you do on any set is felt, because this is when your tearing up the muscle tissues, after your session, load up on protien for the repair process!
End of the day on one knows your body better than yourself, I'm currently measuring up with a 42-44inch chest and 16-17inch arms! Dont come under the illusion this is an over night process, you'll be looking at months of training...
