My question: When would you recommend drinking protein, eating food, and snacking on things like nuts and fruit, based on my schedule? Or does it not matter when?

You probably won't gain much muscle at all as you're going to make endurance gains at most.
The reason you ache so much is because you've never had to do anything physical before.
>When would you recommend drinking protein
You don't drink protein unless you can't get enough through your usual diet, protein is a SUPPLEMENT not a meal replacement.
>eating food, and snacking on things like nuts and fruit, based on my schedule?
Eat when you are hungry, stop eating when you no longer feel hungry.
Ideally you consume something after an intensive training session, it doesn't quite apply to something your body will adapt to within 2 months.
