As far as the weight gainers go... I work a 13-14 hour shift and you can only pack so much into a lunch box and I can only prepare so much food for the next day. So for work days, they would come in handy.

like i said, for PWO, you don't necessarily need the carbs IN the shake. If you're working out, and mix 50g of whey w/ milk, you're going to get around 66g of protein (50g from powder, 16g from milk), and then roughly 30g of carbs. You can just eat some fruit, honey, cereal, etc to go along with this.
Well, you don't necessarily need a gainer to go w/ your lunch. Pack a few meals, and then pack a few protein shakes. You can add some oils to the shakes, and make them slower digesting, or some fiber supplement. Oils would be better if you're bulking. Just mix the protein+milk+oils, and you have a high quality gainer.
It's ultimately up to you if you want to get a gainer or not. I'm just throwing some other easy suggestions out there.
