I've been doing this for the past few months. The only changes I made were adding another deadlift and x12 for squats instead of x5. Also my rest day is Monday because it's the most crowded at my gym.
Oh and I've been using this for protein, it's relatively cheap and works well.
Your body won't be able to tell if you're getting calories from solid foods or liquid. It will use the macros the same.
Just like most of Rich's fans can't tell what is muscle and what is synthol on him.
But seriously, there are far better YouTubers to follow over Rich.
Shakes are great. Convenient and very easy to make. Mine is simple.

I used to weigh 130lbs at 5'11" and when I decided to gain weight, eating sucked. Consistently hitting my calories was difficult with solid food. I tried Optimum Nutrition's Pro Gainer and it helped a lot. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0015R3A1S?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o06_s00. I'm now at 180lbs.
Nowadays, I only really use it if I haven't met the day's calories or if I'm hungry before I go to bed. I think using weight gainer at first is not a bad idea at all. Once the kid gets used to the higher calorie intake combined with his lifting, he'll naturally eat more as his appetite will grow. Mine did.
But his unwillingness to focus on his diet is concerning. He needs to understand that to get stronger/bigger he needs to eat more. There's just no way around it. Have you sat down with him and calculated his TDEE? Install the My Fitness Pal app on his phone and have him track his calories. Explain that if he doesn't cover his TDEE, he won't grow. Once he visually sees a numerical goal, maybe he'll be able to push the limits of his appetite. One day at a time.
This stuff is good if you want to gain weight. Also check out r/fitness and search "bulking". There are many cases of thin people wanting to put on weight, you'll find some good advice.
No problem. If you are looking for both calories and protein, and you really don't like the taste of normal protein - Consider a "gainer shake" which is a good mix of carbs and protein. It tastes a bit better, and actually really helps to hit calorie goals. ON Gainer
