My diet is basically a 20% fat, 35% protein, 45% carb split.
Lots of chicken, eggs, cottage cheese, and soy/nuts is what you need to really focus on getting into your body.
After you work out, try to get 30+g of whey into your body with a protein shake or whatnot.
It's also helpful to eat cottage cheese along with/or peanut butter on wheat before you go to sleep so that your body has a nice nighttime supply of protein.
Whey peaks in your body really fast so it's generally only ideal for post workouts, whereas cottage cheese (casein) tends to digest slowly over several hours which is ideal for nighttime. The other proteins such as eggs, chicken, and soy or nuts all take an in-between amount of time and are ideal for your meals during the rest of the day.
Like today; I had 2 slices of wheat and 4 eggs for breakfast along with a half cup of cottage cheese. Lunch was a 12 inch chicken sandwich. Snack was peanut butter on wheat and cottage cheese. Dinner I'll probably have something with plenty of chicken and some fat and before I go to sleep another cottage cheese serving.
Don't be afraid to throw some fat into your diet (you don't really want to go over 20% of your calories), but your body can make use of it as well as long as you're solidly working out.
