Well I am no expert on the subject, but I can tell you that I like working my legs and butt the most and I personally spend about 3 days a week on different leg/butt exercises.
I typically focus one day on my hamstrings and quads doing hamstring curls and leg extensions, another day focusing on the butt doing sitting and standing squats with alternating one leg squats and then another day doing active leg exercises working multiple leg/butt muscles with lunges or climbing the stair master holding small weights.
As far as protein goes, I think that's a personal preference. There are tons of health stores that can help you find something you may like. A well-balanced healthy diet will help you gain muscle as well so keep that in mind.
This of course is all just my personal opinion. If you are new to lifting weights, you should consult with personal trainer about proper form so that you don't hurt yourself and learn how to get the benefit out of the exercises. Even if they are busy, they should want to help you learn how to properly lift weights.
Some of the videos I provided links to may help you as well. You can also see if there are other video tutorials to help you learn how to lift weights and what exercises to do.
