COA_Karl said:On a suppressed appetite the winning strategy is protein density per unit of volume, not per calorie.
I will push back on the powder-first advice. It works and it also trains people out of eating food, and when the drug stops the habits are what remain. Getting protein from meals is slower and holds up better afterwards.
The figures, for anyone assembling their own picture. Practical: whatever you change, write down the date and the reason. In three months the reason is what you will have forgotten, and the reason is what makes the record worth having.
Correct me if the detail matters more than I have assumed.

Coming at Dr.RaviCardio’s question from a different direction. Order of operations matters more than any single choice here: establish a baseline, change one thing, wait long enough for it to express itself, then measure again under the same conditions.

How people are hitting a protein target on a genuinely suppressed appetite, because volume is the binding constraint rather than willingness?
Closing the loop on my own question.
Update: two thirds of the target before midday. Same total, same appetite, and I am hitting it most days now.
