I mean, I'm still making some gains, I don't use protein anymore (tho I probably will be getting back into that). I just dunno how to make sure I'm getting a good workout in if I'm only going a few times a week.

Focus on compound movements so you can hit multiple body parts with one exercise. Squats for example will work pretty much nail all your lower body parts.
Bench
Military/Overhead Press
Squats
Bent-over Rows
Deadlift
Chinups/Pullups
You can add others to that, but if you work a program around (most of) these it may help, and also workout those legs too!
The above was what I started with, with Leg Presses and Calf Raises added. But going 3 times a week should be more than enough. As long as your lifts are increasing with what you're doing you probably don't need to make many changes though.
