We shall see where this leads...
So, I think you are likely fine with the number of times as long as you are logging, but try to up the protein grams per mini-meal. I still do a protein shake (30g) in the am, and get about 100g a day on under 900 cals. I pretty much aimed for only 70+ when I was at 600-800.
Since I can't get in enough protein in 3 meals (I try to get 100) my NUT cleared me for 6 meals a day. Many times it's just a slice of turkey smeared with spicy mustard, but I count it as a meal.
I have my fitness pal set for 6 separate meals. I stay between 600-800 calories, less than 20 g. Fat and less than 35 g. Carbs......most days

Shake is 40g protein ---1/2 before gym and 1/2 after workout. Plus I can't do food before noon (GERD).
Could you possibly add in a protein coffee ****d or hot) as an AM snack? Low in cals and you can make it as protein heavy as what you need for the day.
