@GREGGORVICH12 If your looking for a shake, try milk, oats, and peanut butter in a blender. Some ice gives it a good texture too. I don't know your stats but lets assume your around 5'8 and 140lbs at 20 years old. I'd suggest anywhere from 4000-6000 calories a day. If your not gaining weight, your not eating enough, period.

To gain quality muscle you need quality food. Its easier to put on muscle if you don't mind gaining some fat too. All bodybuilders bulk in the off season, if you try to lean bulk your gains are going to be limited so i would not go that rout. Eat tons of pasta, potatoes, and rice for your bulk of carbs. For your micro nutrients eat lots of asparagus, broccoli, and other vegetables as well. fish and chicken are great sources of protein.

@Senick there might not be a shortcut to losing weight, but i want to take supplements to gain weight. any advice?

@grayandgray It takes 10x the amount of energy to convert protein to fat, and that's simplifying it alot. Given the opportunity your body is going to convert carbs, or store fat. Everyone just eat solid food, there is no shortcut to losing weight. If your going to supplement anything I'd suggest antioxidants for health purposes.

@grayandgray Everything physiology related is science :-) The limiting factor of whey protein absorption is the length of time viscous material (liquid) spends in our digestive track, which is 1.5 hours. Its the process of digestion that is limited. Out of the 15 grams of WP you can digest in 1.5 hours, some of that may be stored as fat. However unlikely if your body has had carbs or fat in the previous 18 hours.

@Senick the question seems to turn on whether some kind of "excess" of protein per serving, say 60g, gets wasted/excreted or turned to fat, or does the body just chug along on it for 6 hours?  That seems to be the reason for this 30-40grams and meals every 3 hours, which could have no basis in science.

Everyone, please listen to the scientists for protein absorption facts. Your small intestine can only absorb a certain amount of amino acids a day. Breaking it down further, we can only absorb 8-10g of whey protein an hour, period. I seem to be the only one citing sources...

@MayorofC and EGGS

though whey isolate (has to be cross filtered NEVER ion exchange) are good too if you're a busy, busy, busy dude like me. supplements are just supplements, they're not meant to replace real food.
