You could always add your own carbs into protein or various foods depending on what you want the macro totals to come out to..

No best supplement. Just eat to your goals and train smart. It's that simple.

They're not bad. Just don't abuse them, as what happens to most things. Don't turn 200 mg caffeine into 400, into 800+, etc.

You should have a set protein goal for each day just like the other macronutrients; hit that goal at the end of the day, so really 1 or 2 scoops comes down to personal preference.

I personally enjoy using K-OTIC.

Creatine and whey protein, although obviously being in a caloric surplus through a solid diet is what's most important.

I have personally used k-otic and jack3d in the past and have enjoyed both!

If you are not gaining weight, then you are not consuming enough calories. Ditch the weight gainer and start tracking your calories. Increase them until you start seeing weight gain.

I'd just shoot for around .9x your estimated LBM.

It is not necessary to take it right after your workout. Just whenever you're hungry and make sure you're getting in enough macronutrients for whatever your goals are.

Have you pushed into them and felt a lump? If so, it's gyno. If not, then it's probably excess body fat causing the puffiness.

Just pick up some creatine. Food is going to be the big thing. Having enough money to be in a controlled surplus each day.

I'd just pick up some caffeine pills for prior to your workout. Other than that, as far as natural supplements go, diet is the key.

Supplementation is definitely not needed, although it can be quite helpful

Anytime throughout the day...5 g per day. People say you're too young, but it doesn't really matter. For one, it's cheap and for two, there aren't any shown ill effects to those taking this...

Caffeine pills would be fine for whenever you needed the energy. Just don't abuse them by any means.

I'd really only add creatine as a "muscle building" supplement and leave the rest up to food. Don't rush to get to 190 or a lot if it will be fat.

I'd personally just start having a watchful eye on your intake and add in more calories (eat more food) if you aren't gaining weight. If you wish, you could even add in oats and fruits to your own...

Whey is just a replacement for steak, chicken, or whatever else. Just cheaper. Doesn't matter whether you use them or food.

You don't need a preworkout at all. It's just beneficial on those days you're not feeling the most energized...and on those days, I stick with K-OTIC to pick me up.
