You seem quite invested so I have a question. I have learned that protein fills more and therefore reduces appetite. Won't a protein shake be a relatively healthy option which reduces snacking and overeating of less healthy meals? This has also anecdotally been my experience but I haven't done it very much.

I've had the opposite experience myself. Protein shakes keep me full for about as long as water. Protein rich whole foods are much more satiating for the same quantity of protein.
