You should probably check out John Sheaffer's Q&A on the forum as well as his website (He has been giving good diet tips on the rest days). Basically choose good protein sources (steak, eggs, whey, etc.) and adequate carbs during the day, eliminating carbs later.
My personal protein target is 400g/day. Break that up into 6 meals throughout the day. 3-4 meals come from animal sources (60g), 2-3 from whey shakes (75g).
Sample day for me...meals are 3 hours apart
Meal One - Oats & Eggs/Meat
Meal Two - Shake (oats &whey)
Meal Three - Steak & Rice/Pasta/Taters
Meal Four - Shake (oats & whey) - Carb Curfew
Meal Five - Steak & Veg
Meal Six - Shake (whey & crystal light-protein only)
