Hi all,
I am a busy 28 y.o. male with 5'7" height and 120lbs weight. MY
body fat % is 11.5. I want to gain weight and build muscles. I have
been very irregular in eating for years and often go without eating
for more than a day. I don't have a lot of cooking experience. I have
been a vegetarian all my life but I have recently tried meat and don't
like it because I begin to think about what I am eating and its life.
I rarely exercise.

So I have several questions. I don't know where to even start.
1. Should I keep trying to eat meat?

Probably - you don't _have_ to but it'll make your life simpler.

are there any tips that can help me in doing so?

Uh, buy meat, cook meat, eat meat. Recipes abound online.

2. Can I build muscles with a vegetarian diet?

Yes. See http://www.mikemahler.com as but one example.

3. What kind of exercises should I do and how often?

For now, whatever you like, just get used to exercising. Around here,
we're big fans of lifting weights, and if you're trying to get bigger,
lifting weights and not things like running are the direction you want
to take.

4. Should I see a nutritionist?

Try it on your own, see how you do, and if you aren't getting the
results you want, then yes, see a nutritionist.

5. Are there any easy recipes and easy menu planning ideas?

The Internet is your friend here - there are countless thousands of
recipes, including easy ones, just Google the terms you just used.

6. Are there any books on diet and exercise that can help me?

Thousands upon thousands. Super Squats might be an OK first read for
you but I doubt it would do very well for you as a first exercise
program.

I will appreciate any kind of help..

HTH. It's pretty simple - lift, eat, sleep, repeat.
