i would sum it up like this.
1) if your interest is in body building... then its over. you will need to stop associating food with pleasure and telling yourself that everything tastes like ass or that you are not going to eat this or that.
eating perfectly for sports is a bland and unsatisfying experience. get used to it. the more you try to resist this idea, the harder and harder it is going to be for you to eat correctly.
its time to eat to grow, eat to recover and eat to train... not eat to have a good time or comfort yourself while quietly crying and watching Will and Grace.
2) if you just want extra protein for some reason... take a look at your body composition, diet and your training/physical activity and try to get it first with whole foods. that is always the best solution with the possible exception of whey immediately after weight training. you have to know what you need FIRST... then decide how to get it. people are telling you for example, to drink up to 1000 calories and they don't even realize it. you might only need 2000 calories a day for example total and would be doing yourself a great disservice to sit down and drink 1000 cals just because it tastes good.
extra protein is stored as fat.
my opinion is that it is really improper to say anything without knowing a lot about you, your goals, your body, your training and your actual needs... because these factors will determine the best solution for YOU to help you best achieve YOUR goals.
however, if you just want a simple, low cal solution to choking down protein... the best is probably low cal, frozen fruit and ice/water.
