Read this:

Try to avoid shakes, but rather consume meals, but if you need to, I guess 1 shake is Ok. Just make sure that every meal contains fats/carbs/protein. It's all stated in the guide.

Also, read this as well. I would recommend you trying out the routine

Eating properly is just as important as the wieght lifting. Its like giving a car 1/2 a tank and trying to drive it the distance a full tank can go.
 
Breakfast is extremly important, that crap about it being the most important meal wasnt all talk. It really is, and by skipping out on it your robing yourself of energy. So guess where your body gets its energy from when you dont feed it?...your body will tear down muscle and use it for energy.
 
you may not be a morning eater, but just like getting used to lifting wieghts you have to force yourself to go and do it. as vdk suggested set your alarm so you dont miss it. and getting 500 calories in 6 smaller meals really isnt as hard as you think.
 
and as for the shakes, nothing is wrong with taking them to add in the extra protein/carbs/calories depending on the type. but you can always eat somethign with it to add in some good fat/carbs or more calories. for example, when I drink my protein shakes I always like to add a small protein bar or 2 granola bars with it. that way im getting lots of protein, and im adding carbs/more calories and fat.
 
depending on when you wake up a typical day can work out something like this.
 
8am- breakfast
10am- snack
12/1- lunch
3-4 - snack
6-7 - dinner
before dinner snack mix of protein and carbs
 
just sit down and plan it out according to your schedule. Peanuts/fruit/shakes/pb&j/pb&banana/other nuts/whole wheat sandwhichs all make great snacks, find good things you like!

Yes they count, but with the chips try to stay torwards the baked variety if thats your thing. =P
 
I feel its best to try to stay as healthy as possible when trying to gain wieght, so to optimize the lean gains. Incase you didnt know tho, if I recall correctly there is 4 calories in one carb/protein and 7 in one fat.

Maybe you can find a friend with the same interest to train together with you. This should help with keeping your motivation high. You might even find someone in this forum who lives around your place.
