Take another protein shake 40g ? (thats added to the one I take after my workout)
Can you do that?
and do you need that much protein even the days you dont workout?

yeah, heres what I would suggest
example bodyweight = 185 lbs
daily suggested protein intake = 185x1.5 = 277.5
divide that up between 6 meals = roughly 45 gm protein per meal
so yes, an extra 40g of protein (with milk) will be perfect
also, for a meal you can eat two cans of tuna with some relish + light ranch or mayo
turkey burgers (if you must have bread, eat wheat, not white)
Hormel Turkey chili (tastes great, but high in sodium)
cottage cheese (eat before bed to feed your body while you sleep.. I can't stand the shit but if you can, it will do wonders I hear)
chicken breasts (cook em up quick on a george foreman grill)
you can get a weeks worth of this kind of stuff for like $40-50, it shouldnt be too hard to get to your total
