I'd like to gain about 15-20lbs as I want to be a healthy 150-155. I'm currently 26 and my body naturally fluctuates around 135 +- 2-3lbs. Not your average skinny guy though, compared to others I have quite a bit more muscle size and definition than them. I've always been into fitness and athletics.
I could probably get away with a 2,000/day diet and soak up the other 1,000 with my protein shake/whole milk combo. My problem is a healthy 2,000 vs mcdonalds or the like.

A healthy 2,000 will be a pretty significant amount of food, but you can fill quite a bit of it with the yams/rice. You'll need the carb intake to hit your numbers, which isn't a bad thing as a significant amount of your caloric intake should be from carbs. The lean meats don't tend to amount to much at all. How frequently are you eating or what are your feeding patterns like?

Pre-workout supplements have never done anything for me, and even caffeine has little to no effect on me (..
and I wish it did because graveyard shifts are slow), so I'm probably not the best person to offer advice on that subject. I've found that most of them to seem to be placebo
for me, but then again, I'm a special case. Caffeine is a true stimulant though, and I'd recommend that you try it in its condensed form. I have a buddy who uses pure rock caffeine in very small doses.
