Actually I started taking the GNC 1850 Weight Gainer about 6 weeks ago to help with my bulking phase.
I didn't need to add that many (1850) calories so I just do 1/3 the serving and add a scoop of peanut butter to it for some additional plavor an protein.
I have gained 5 punds in 6 weeks since adding that to my diet (going for a bf test this afternoon).
I think TP is right on the money, but for what it's worth, this seemed to work well for me giving me the extra calories/carbs/protein that I needed.

Mrjames, I'll try to give you some advice since I know what you're going through.
To put it simply, and like TP said, drink the shakes any time you can. Drink them at breakfast, post workout, and before bed.
Two years ago I stood 5'10" 180 lbs and lanky. Now I am 6'1" 240 lbs. as a 15 year old. Trust me, protein can help you out a lot. Make sure you lift hard though, b/c protein won't lift for you. I honestly can look in the mirror and tell if I've been drinking my shakes or not.

Nothing should really happen. It's just extra calories protein, carbs and such. You'll just have to make up for it somewhere else in your diet or you'll start losing weight.
Edit: You sure dug this one up.

Weight Gainers do work, but it takes a lot of work and you must have a strong stomach or it will make u sick. Very sick!

weight gainers work but, if you stop, you will lose 50% + gains.
I used it before and many of my friends did and we all lost our gains.
3 servings daily is a lot of extra calories you are putting into your body and then when you stop, (cut your caloric intake in half), you will lose some of the gains. Some will lose 25% and others 75% to all. (depends how consistant of workout you do and hows your eating).
I know a friend that went thru many (10lb) of weight gainer and everytime he stop using it he lost all his gains. So there you see how much money he wasted. It works while you on it, but once you stop, you will lose some of your gains. only solution If you stop is that you got to try to eat extra food to balance for stoping your w.g..
thats my experience with it.

weight gainers are just whey and sugar mostly, theres nothing special about them. if you eat more calories than you burn off you gain weight.
food is the better option but we each have to deal with our own situation and what we can do at what times.

Hey, just my two cents.....weight gainers do work, but not because they're some magic potion or anything. It's just calories, protien and sugars. So, you can spend you're $25 and get your calories at an inflated price, or you can spend your $25 and get your calories from food....I assume you live at home as a 15 yo, maybe ask your parents to keep some higher protien sources in the house. At your age, you're still growing, so a lot of the fuel you put into your system is going to be used for growth overall, then muscle. You're a lot more likely to add a couple more inches in height and maybe another 20lbs, than add 40lbs right out the door. So, like everyone else here is saying, work on increasing your protien, and hit the wieghts! That is a huge part of getting bigger and stronger. You seem to be very focused on your speed....weight training will not slow you down, in fact it can help you get faster, especially leg work. Look at sprinters...they have huge legs, and they really work them hard. So, good luck, I remember what it was like being 15 and not sure about yourself. Just remember, as soon as you get something like this going, it's going to take a little time. So don't quit, keep hitting the weights, and keep eating.
