i currently work an evening shift at work 2-10 pm

Hey 2Slim... welcome to the boards. I have a freind at work in exactly the same situation as you. He has a very low body fat and very skinny (almost bony) and has a very high metabolism.

Most people here will say eat lots of food (as much as you can) and eat often. Not sure about the weight gain drinks, dont think they are a substitute for real food as my m8 has been using one for a month or so without any change in his bonyness.

The worst thing you could do would be to miss meals and eat less (in an attempt to slow ur metabolism) Eat loads often and keep it clean.

I am not an expert. The above is what ive read in these boards so may I also suggest checking out the search feature which will churn up loads of usefull info for you...

Hope ive been of some help. BTW, Im in the UK 2, where in the UK are you?
