Eating when not hungry

I'm 10 days into South Beach Diet. Since tracking my food, I found that I was not getting enough protein or enough calories to reach my macros. I added protein drinks mid morning and mid afternoon. That said, I find I am not hungry from breakfast til lunch. Frequently I am not hungry from lunch to dinner either. I have been drinking the protein shakes even though I don't feel any hunger,

Is this what I should be doing or should I only eat when I'm really hungry

    If your calorie goal is at least 1200, (depending on your weight it could be more) then you should eat that much to stay healthy.

    Do you think it is easier to make a healthy choice when you are hungry, or not hungry?
