On the hunger, I didn't catch if you ever said how many calories you're eating, if you REALLY need to eat more doing it as shakes makes 5k calories effortless. Clearly you need real food too, but as supplemental calories.
But on the gaining, you're 5'10, 175 which isn't heavy and at 20-25% BF? Dude, at your height and weight having your fat that high needs to be addressed before you continue to try to put more on. You're gonna run outta control, then with the time required to cut that much fat you're going to lose too much muscle in the process, don't work against yourself.
I'm also 5'10, I'm at 230lbs right now, at my last DEXA I was 11.5%BF, and I'm really careful with putting weight on, I still definitely got to much chub on me IMO, wife tells me I have body dysmorphia, I say her eye exam is overdo. We all wear what we have different, you may not even remotely look like you have that high of a BF%, But if that's an accurate number, you an't ignore it either. We ALWAYS put on fat with the muscle, you need that wiggle room.
