You need to eat a lot of protein. 1g of protein per 1lb of bodyweight.
3-4g of complex carbs per 1lb of bodyweight and you also need your good fats. Natty peanut butter, flaxseed oil, Oily Fish (mackerel etc...)

Protein shakes are not magic. They aren't even essential. However they are quite useful, especially after training and first thing on a morning.

Creatine is very useful. Take both.

However your overall diet is more important than just a few shakes here and there.

Follow the above guidelines. Never go more than 3 hours without eating. Eat 5/6 small meals per day consisting of roughly 30g protein/60g carbs.

These are the basics. Stick to them and you'll be fine.
