A gallon of milk a day is going to suck..
People recommend skinny people just eat because usually they are just not eating enough. The differences in body composition of eating 500cals of KFC or 500cals of grilled chicken breasts cooked in olive oil are going to be very minimal.
I dont think you need to count calories, try it for a while. If you are not putting on any muscle after a few months, you likely need to be eating more (or need better training). If the issue is that you are not eating enough, tracking intake may be useful. I know for me I almost need to track it because I have the tendency to undereat. When I am trying to gain weight (ive gained over 50lbs of weight, mostly muscle over the last few years) I stick to mostly high calorie foods such as trail mix, whole milk, good cuts of steak (not lean), whole chickens, rice, lots of fruit, potatoes etc . Some would consider it 'clean' some would not, 'clean foods' makes no sense to me anyway.
