You're only just over a month out, though - don't push for too much too quickly! 60 is great for early out. Just try to build on that as you go along over the next couple of months.
There is no way that I can eat this kind of volume or every two hours, I asked my doctor and he said 80 grams is a lifetime goal not for right now. I know I cannot eat every 2 hours I do good to eat every 4-5 and that is usually a challenge after a few bites, just hang in there, my Dr. says to listen to my body that it will tell me when enough is enough and never force it so I do not get back into my old eating habits.
some days, 5 meals, but then, define: meal.
OTOH, our doc said not to count food (and subsequent experiments on myself show him to be quite correct). So, if I do get any benefit of protein foods, it's minimal.
And then, I don't LIKE meat 'n fish so much,. Never did. I do like a good steak now and then, but not enough to sustain any levels.
In 2007, I did all protein foods (meat/fish/chicken, low carb bar (as in 2g carb)) plus my 6 drinks. In 6 months, my protein budged only 0.1. 6 months later (so 1 yr), it had budged again only 0.1 . So, eating more protein foodss, in essence, didn't provide enough change for me to force feed myself food that largely grosses me out, KWIM?
So, my "meat" is chocolate, and I prefer fruits/veggies with a smattering of "flesh". Given a choice, I'd take an all veggie stir fry over one with meat. If I have left over meat, I make it all together, but usually pick out the meat. LOL
Have you tried a warm protein? Not hotter than 160 deg, so regular coffee pot hot, no commercial pots or red switch on a cooler. My Insta Hot is about 163.
Do not SHAKE this. WEll, only once, then yu get to clean your ceiling. Stir, or I use a hand blender or moo mixer type thing. I tried the bullet once, blew the gasket. LOL Lesson: do not seal hot beverages. LOL

Odd as this sounds, if I use coffee straight from Mr. Coffee, I'll get lumps. If I pour it into my cup, then into the protein, I never do. Now, that is just crazy, unless my cup is just cool enough to bring it down 2-3 deg?

Dinner-see lunch. About one cup of food, 15 grams protein, 300 calories
Snack- usually another protein shake, 20 grams protein, 200 calories. Sometimes Greek yogurt or something else.
Snack- usually a handful of pretzels and some cheese, about 10 grams of protein and 250 calories

If I show you the calories, you'll choke (and I don't count calories anyway), but I eat it all with real food.
B - a cup to a cup and a half of Ricotta Fluff (my profile has recipe) = 20-30g of protein
S - carbmaster yogurt = 12g
L - Chicken burrito bowl from chipotle, sans the rice, with pinto beans, salsa, sour cream, cheese and guacamole = 47g
S - Something sweet most likely with around 6-10g
S - Fried queso blanco = 30g
D - 3-4 oz of meat with veggies and a bite or two of whatever else I want - 30g roughly.
Did I mention that I hate protein drinks?
