You need to go into the nail care section of Walmart or another store of your choosing. Look for products that are nail strengtheners. They will help. Sally Hansen has some of the less expensive ones that will work. Look for the words strength or harden on the packages, those are the product(s) that will work for you.
A good diet will help, as it will encourage healthy cell growth throughout your body and strengthen overall health which does affect your nails.
Keeping your hands and nails moisturized will also help, use hand cream frequently and it will help keep your skin around your nail beds healthy and hang-nail free. Many times it is almost irresistible to pick at a hangnail, and then picking at the nail itself will be even easier.
A great hand cream is Sally Hansen 18 Hour Protective Hand Creme with Shea butter, vitamins A, E, C and grape seed oil. I prefer it as it leaves your hands moist without being greasy or oily, so you don't have to worry about getting greasy marks on anything, or dropping things because your hands are too slippery.
Once you see your nails growing out a bit, go to a local nail salon and get a professional manicure. This will help shape your nails and strengthen them further. You do not have to have nail polish put on, unless you want to do so, but they will put on a clear coat of strengthening polish.
When I first stopped biting my nails, I went to the salon and had acrylics put on, which helped my natural nails to strengthen and grow out a bit more healthy, as the acrylic nail protects your natural nail a bit. That is something that you could consider doing a bit down the road.
Good luck and congratulations on stopping the biting. You will enjoy having nice looking nails with a bit of work.
Have a good day.

Stop biting them and let them grow back. It might take some time and you have to be patient. Meanwhile, use Super Nail Bite No More to keep you from nibbling.

Stop biting your nails (its hard I used to do it too) and when they grow out go get a manicure. A manicure will make them look so nice you wont want to bite them.
(And yes its perfectly OK for males to get manicures, if you are male)
