Try more liquids

You can bulk up and divide down your protein shakes with ice and additional sugar free flavoring... Smoothie

8 oz of water, cup of ice ice, 1/4th or ~3 oz vanilla protein shake, berry flavor Crystal light. Blend. Berry Vanilla smoothie roughly 40-60 calories

You can try it with sugarfree ice tea/drinks as well
