Hi, Annie -
I'm no expert, but I did a BFL challenge that ended in mid-March and I'm doing a CKD now so I've been working out for a while. A few things come to mind:
1. First, I'd say that shake might have too much fat in it. I am not anti-fat by any means , but it satiates you more than anything else. It might just be making you full. I make my shakes w/ 8 oz. water, 5 ice cubes and 1 oz. of cream and I have one or two a day, no problem, as supplements.
2. How long have you been working out? I found that my appetite actually decreased until maybe week 4 or 5 - then I was ravenous.
3. I find it possible to eat 160-200 g of protein and stay under 2200 calories, but only if I use poultry and fish as my main sources of protein. It's pretty hard to do it with cheese and eggs. Don't get me wrong - eggs are great, but you need to eat about 3.5 to get a decent amount of protein in.
HTH
