I also have ON Whey Protein already bought. I just forgot to buy a shaker.

I would suggest something liquid first thing in the morning and right after your workout.

Therefore, you should try getting a protein smoothie recipe.

Put these into a blender:
bananas
strawberry (could be replaced with oatmeal)
milk
whey powder

That is for two meals already. You don't need anything fancy to bodybuild. For example, gril some sweet potatoes, and have it with some salmon. That would make a meal too.

It's best if you can make your own meal plans rather than relying on others, that way you can make adjustments when you need/want to.  It all depends on your goals anyway, and you didn't give any indication as to what they are.

-Figure out how many calories you need to eat to grow/cut
-Split calories into 5-8 meals through out the day
-Try and get some carbs/protein/fat in each meal.

You can get much more complex with ratios and what not but that is as specific as I will go
