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.

Exactly what I was thinking...I wouldn't worry about getting the carbs from the actual protein mix. You can easily get an adequate amount of carbs from real food...
Also, not everything has to be kept in a lunch box. I would make alot of peanut butter and jelly/banana sanwhiches and eat those throughout the day when you're at work along with some fruit and other proteins.
So that said...Are you looking for a protein mix or something like a straight whey concentrate?
