Eat unprocessed foods as nature intended.
Eat every 2.5/3 hours
Protein with every meal.
Eat seasonal.
Not hard.
Optimum Nutrition Gold Standard Whey is the best choice, relatively cheap to compared to most known brands. Yeah, but you should get your diet sorted first. Then take a Nitric Oxide product pre workout and creatine can be taken both pre and post.
Do only way you will 'burn muscle' is if you do too much cardio. Concentrate on heavy weights low reps, and maybe incorporate a few super sets to get strength.

hitting the gym hard will rev up your metabolism, as well as this it might be worth getting a meal replacement shake powder and drinking it if you can't stomach a proper meal doing this should hopefully start to tell your metabolism to speed up and your stomach to expand so you can then move onto proper meals every 2-3 hours each day.
I find meal replacement powders pretty funny. First you get the whey out of milk add some sugar and fat probably add some vitamins and casein. Then you add water and drink. Holy shit are we just pretty much back to were we started with the milk in the first place.

Because saturated fat will kill you!
...Maybe true, if its homogonised. Its all about marketing products to morons.. You cant beat raw milk.
For skinny guys with fast metabolism I always recommend a mass gaining protein powder with at least 50/50 carb protein ratio to add calories.
I am developing a gainer with Oats in it as an alternative to maltodextrin and with some good fats in it.
Don't lift too heavy if you want muscle mass, 8 -12 reps at max effort will allow you to put on size not just get stronger.
Saturated fat is necessary in your diet if its from the right source, because testosterone is made from cholesterol. You need a good combination of fats.
Milk fat is better for you than fat from processed meats etc that have lots of cancer causing nitrates in them.

Wow... No offense bud but im surprised you even have the desire to lift weights eating how you eat... i wouldnt even want to get out of bed let alone go about my day and do anything...
Calculate what you need before you do anything, a rough calculation for your size and height would say you need to eat around 2800-3200 calories a day at the moment to gain mass with weight training.
Check out CalorieKing.com.au - Australian Online Diet and weight loss club. Lose weight for good! and suss out whats in the foodyou eat, you should aim for around 250-300 grams a day of protein as well at your current weight. ( approx 3-4 g protein per kg body weight )
As already mentioned as well, calorie dense shakes are easy to consume, stay away from up and go drinks, they have added sugars and you will get much more out of a good WPC shake with some added natural peanut butter and oats etc. even throw some extra virgin olive oil in there to up the calories if needed.
5 meals a day minimum to buddy, no matter what, dont skip meals or your metabolism will get all screwed up ( long explanation but the more frequent you eat the more it will keep your body in an anabolic state which is needed to grow muscle mass ). If you cant get to sit down and eat a meal have a shake, if you really really feel so inclined an up and go energize might suffice for a quick fix as they do have 20 grams of protein and around 300 calories if i remember right?
Mike as someone who's done the GOMAD thing in the past I'm going to have to disagree entirely for the following reasons:
1. Once you gain new fat cells they are very hard to lose. This can make weight gain and dieting in the future very difficult, especially once your body establishes its 'set point'.
2. Being 90kg and squatting 140kg is not impressive.
3. Most people who got into lifting (at least before they got corrupted by muscle mags) just want to look good with their shirt off which they dont need to be 100kg to do. Getting 'huge' and over 15% leaves a lot of people dissatisfied with their physique because whilst their waist grows their arms dont grow proportionately.
Slow and steady wins the race. Mind you, the OPs diet looks like crap regardless of goals.

...How was this missed by everyone?
OP, seek help. Not from the internet. A well trained psychiatrist should do the trick.
