Look for other signals that it's time to eat (shaky, lightheaded, etc.), or just get in the habit of regular meal times. Adding a protein shake or bar is a great idea.

Can you add a protein shake? Or at least a glass of skim milk? What about eating Greek yogurt instead of Carbmaster? I love Carbmaster but Greek will probably have more calories. You can also stir a little protein powder into your yogurt to up the calories and protein.

Add a couple snacks and eat on a schedule.
Also if you don't now log your food in a site or app like livestrong.com or sparkpeople.com

Be cautious with nuts - my pouch often doesn't like them and I get nausea.
I agree with using more protein powder or RTD. I put protein powder in my unflavored greek yogurt. Hot protein lattes are good choice - if you like coffee.
I'm much further out than you (29 months) and if I'm not at 1200 calories by the end of the day - I have 1-2 Tablespoons of peanut butter (alot of calories - some (not much) protein). It also takes little pouch space.
