My friend did the same thing as you except he ate NOTHING but hard boiled eggs and worked out hours on end and by the end of the semester he had put on about 30 pounds of muscle.
Nuts have alot of protein. and are super good for you.

Lots of research of healthy foods.
it should not be to strength your muscle but keep you fresh through out the day,munch all dryfruitnuts and orange juice will keep you fit.if you insist only on strength then eat elephant or lion flesh.
Try some boiled eggs,
