Get a good protein powder. Muscle Milk and Whey Protein are both awesome.
Basically, when you're done working out you want a protein heavy meal, and a protein shake gets that done fast. Also, when you're lifting weights, do A LOT of weight, very few reps, and about 5-6 sets. As an example, you might bench press 100lbs (just throwing out a number--just make sure it's a struggle--but not too much of a struggle), and lift it maybe five times, then take a break. Then do it five more times, then take a break. Do this about five times.
TL;DR: Protein shake after workouts, high weight, low reps, high sets.
Edit: As always drink lots of water and try to cut out fatty foods. Get a workout journal to keep track of your progress, and give yourself small, but satisfying rewards at key benchmarks to keep you motivated.

Sure, no problem! 
Unfortunately, protein powder isn't cheap, that's for sure, but you can eat an egg burrito or something too! Good luck!

Ya, as he said you went high weight, low,reps for body mass, reaching 95% your max everyday if I remember correct. (for whichever lifts you do) but be sure not to over stress your body and try to work all your body in one day, it tends to be counter-productive not allowing your muscle groups to heal properly.
