>Which would be most effective for someone who typically has trouble gaining mass.
Food. To gain mass you need a surplus of calories, not necessarily any specific supplement. If you've had trouble gaining in the past its because you werent eating enough.
>Whey Protein
I suggest [ON Gold Standard.] (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B002DYJ0FM/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o05_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1) Search /r/fitness or other subs, its probably the most recommended whey and best tasting imo. Keep in mind whey is a protein supplement: used to supplement your existing diet and make up for a lack of protein, not used to replace food. [Whey Protein] (http://examine.com/supplements/Whey+Protein/). Shoot for .7-1g per lb of body weight daily.
>Creatine
Wont hurt and is highly recommended. Take 5g per day, everyday at anytime. No need to load. [Creatine] (http://examine.com/supplements/Creatine/)
>BCAAs
Not really needed, unless your are working out first thing in the AM on an empty stomach. A good whey like I suggested with have enough BCAAs in it.
>Glutamine
Again, not really needed.
All that being said, get on a solid program like Starting Srength or Strong Lifts 5X5
I love this one by Optimum Nutrition. 3c 1.5f 24p Tastes great with water and cashew milk, and I like to put it in my coffee sometimes, too. :)

I'm really scared to ask this because I feel it's such a stupid question, but here goes: so I recently bought some whey (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B002DYJ0FM/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1), there is a big spoon that comes with it, is this supposed to be for one shake? (220 ml of water)
EDIT: I just found this – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kq6ufL6hKZk – that clears it up for me.
Seconded. I recently got into ON's mocha cappuccino flavor and it tastes awesome with milk. I always end up chugging it because it's really that good.
Rice and chicken are cheap and calorie dense. A meal I like is 1 cup of rice, 100g (cooked) chicken, and 2tbsp butter is like 800 calories.
Protein powder is just food that is high in protein, you don't need to take it. That said, I like it because it's high in protein and quick to eat/drink. I really like this, it's what I have right now. I just mix it with some water and drink it.
For all the hate r/fitness gets on this sub, it's wiki does have really good information, I would definitely recommend it.
