When I first started out, getting all the protein was hard to do. But now it's second nature. It's not uncommon to find that I've got my days supply of P ingested with a whole snack or two to go still waiting to be eaten.
You might try picking up the TAP book to see the types and amounts that you might eat. It's not that far from what "normal" people eat, as far as the amount of food, but a little here and there and you've got that extra P down.
When I'm trying to lose fat, the last thing I want is a shake. It's like I didn't have anything at all and 10 minutes later I'm starving again. I stick to drinks around workouts only. Whole foods fill you up and keep you there for a lot longer.
