Its not a gainer you need, its a whole new diet.

Go to the stickies straight away for advice.

A quick glance at your diet says to me that your breakfast it too little, your mid-morning snack is too light, your lunch is virtually non-existent for someone trying to gain weight and there's far too big a gap between your dinner and supper I (maybe you have the time wrong?). There's little or no protein in 3 of your 5 meals and if you're training in that gap between dinner and your last meal (guessing that your training at all and have no idea what training you might be doing), you need something soon after training for optimum recovery and gain.

I think you need to reassess all those meals and the timing of them before you have a diet worth supplementing.

You need more protein, way more. More fat too.
And better quality carbs. Check out the stickies.

Prob need to eat more. IMO You shouldn't be even thinking about a mass gainer until you have your diet sorted.

Can you give me some points as what taking into account I'm at school all day till 8:30pm.

I buy dinner so it's kinda limited to menu:(

I'm on the go a fair bit too, like most people. It takes a bit of planning and prep getting required cals and the protein/carbs/fat ratio half right.

I'm finding boiled eggs, tuna, chicken, rice, various nuts and nut butters, shakes w full fat milk are good convenience foods right now.

Tuna's handy, buy and eat. Eggs and chook need prepping every couple days.
Also look for Transform's ultimate energy bar recipe on here, big dose of useful cals, damn tasty too.

Along w your veg and fruit it's not a bad start.

I agree entirely with Ducks Hoop

I presume you're trying to put on weight, if so it's real food you need and plenty of it. The first thing you need to do is realise that your diet is the most important part of achieving your goals (assuming your goal is weight/strength/conditioning based)

Getting in sufficient protein is key, so you need to think about what will work for you. Im starting 5 straight 12 hour shifts from tomorrow, so this evening I will be cooking chicken breasts to have on standby along with tins of tuna and pots of cottage cheese (Aldi)

Once you have your diet sorted a mass gainer can easily be made from 1.5 to 2 scoops of whey protein, a banana, 35g natural peanut butter, 25g oats and some milk. Blend up and down the hatch. 600 + calories in a glass at much less than half the price. Delicious
