My first suggestion would be to have a protein shake mixed with water, with added maltose/dextrose after your lifting workout. There is a window of opportunity after a workout of about 1-2 hours to replace the energy used up in a workout (the maltose/dextrose) and provide the building blocks to get bigger muscles (the protein shake). Most food takes too long to get absorbed and misses this window, which is why a fast absorbing shake is recommended.
