so today i weighted myself after workout. it said 170.1 lbs. i couldn't believe my eyes. the last time i weighted was monday, and it was 165.5lbs. I have never gained more than 1 pound in a week before. I am 6'3 tall, so you can tell i am a pretty skinny guy. I started following a pretty structured workout routine last week. i consider myself a beginner to weight training. i got my whey protein this wednesday and i take about 2 scoops a day (so about 50 grams of protein through supplement). i had two big meals in the last three days. i had a 1lb burger which was humongous on Wed. for dinnner at a restaurant and a pretty big mexcian meal today for lunch. that's was it. and i eat 3 meals a day, excluding snacks in the late afternoon and occationally late night. usually it's much easier for me to lose weight due to my fast metabolism. i actually had to make some efforts to just maintain my weight, let alone gain it. is this frighteningly fast weight gain normal?

The meals you listed are high in sodium, so chances are good, some of that is water gain from all the salt. Also, weigh yourself under the as close to the same circumstances as you can - like in the morning, with no clothes, before you've eaten - to help minimize all the variables that make your weight fluctuate.
No, you didn't gain 5 pounds of muscle in 5 days (a bulker's wet dream). But, it's possible that a little of it could have been. Mainly though, I would say water, and timing.
