    I should try putting oatmeal in my shakes, I guess.

    I do, yes. They are convenient and without one I generally struggle to hit my protein goal.

    I use Shakeology; the scoop of mix (vanilla) is 130 calories and there are lots of different recipes you can use to play with the calorie count. Like they will be lower if you add fresh fruits, and more if you add things like nut butters or oats; stuff like that. There are SO many shake options out there, it can be kind of overwhelming to find one that you like and that works for you.

    edit - I will add that I cannot drink the stuff just plain. I always have to add things to it otherwise it tastes straight up awful, lol. But with added foods it is good.

    I also like to use ShakeO or other protein mixes to make pancakes. Kind of a fun way to eat it! Although definitely higher calorie :)

    I use mine as an extra meal. It's only about 160cals. I have a good breakfast then oatmeal for lunch a shake 3 hours later and dinner pretty late. Its good because im never really hungry.
