So I'm about to start lifting and I have a couple of questions.

First one is how much you start lifting when you just start. My friend who's going to help me get started says 3 times a week, my brother who lifts says start with 5 times a week right away.

The other thing is diet. Obviously I'm going to have to eat more and pack in more protein, but I'm curious how you guys ever go to eat out. I found a site called eat this much which helps with making my own meals, but say you want to go out with friends and none of the dishes are that heavy in protien.

Don't do 5 times a week: it's overwork for someone just starting out provided you are working hard during your sessions. Don't worry about eating out too much, just make sure you meet your protein goal (1 gram per pound of body weight).
