    Just a few thoughts:
    Nothing else than reducing your calorie intake will help with weight loss. This applies to everybody and is very predictable (CI < CO = weight loss). Eating or drinking your calories doesn't matter for CI, but it may impact satiety and thus how easy it is to stick to your CI; how satiety works, is somewhat individual and somewhat unpredictable.

    High protein can not be low calorie; each gram of protein equals 4 calories.

    Maybe sitting down to eat breakfast can give you the change of pace you need to refocus?

    I will occasionally have a shake instead of my usual morning oatmeal when I've eaten a really heavy meal before bed (like I did yesterday) and I still feel kind of full. Shakes don't make me feel as full as oatmeal. The shakes that I have are super simple - 1 scoop protein powder (which I weigh), a banana and some unsweetened almond milk or 1 scoop protein powder, some berries and some almond milk.

    I use ON gold standard whey protein or GNC's equivelant.
