There's a saying that's been thrown around a lot of us here like. The skinny guys think its their training that needs work, when really it is their diets. The big guys think its their diet that needs work, when really it is their training.
Go with Rippetoe's stuff and just eat and eat and eat. You say you're REAL skinny, so it'll take a lot for you to get fat. Improve your big compound lifts, keep adding weight to the bar, and food to your diet. Keep the protein high, and don't get all caught up in nutrient ratios or breakdowns. Just eat good food and eat a lot of it. For now, don't worry about some junk food. That Big Mac might not leaving you feeling so hot pre-workout, but it's not going to kill you at this point. Get used to eating a big amount of calories. There's been some of us here who have downed 4,000 to 5,000+ a day. Check out Paranoid Android's old logs to see how he went from 135 to somewhere around 200. Frank knows a lot about eating and lifting big.
Eat. Lift. Sleep. Repeat.
