When your first starting out like that starchy foods are your friends. Whole grain foods mean more fiber...indigestible bulk. That is normally a good thing but not for skinny guys looking to eat more. 1. The fiber slows down digestion. 2. It provides no calories 3. It makes you feel fuller faster and for longer.
This will sound like heresy but the traditional "meat and potatoes" diet is the fastest way to go in this case.

The main reason I said no white bread or rice is because it is bleached and has no real vitamins or minerals in it.
I would definitely have more potatoes, (red or sweet), in the diet instead of bleached/ processed food. That way you will have a balance of slow and fast digesting sugar and the vitamins and minerals from these foods. And if you're going to eat Ice cream, at least put it in a protein shake so you can get a post workout meal out of it.
