Rule of thumb I was told for protein was to try to get 30 grams a day in up until 30 days, 60 grams till 60 days, 90 grams till 90 days, then settle in at whatever your goal amount is after that (usually a 100-120 grams). I was able to go faster than that later on but the first couple weeks I didn't beat it by much. Agree with the others on prioritizing hydration over hitting protein goals. Getting dehydrated will make feel lower than an depressed earthworm right quick.
I never could stand them but there are Premier has clear protein drinks that some people love. Walgreens and Meijer both carry them, I think in 4 packs. Don't buy a case of anything to try it, what tastes and textures work are very hit or miss early out. I was an idjit and bought a case of the raspberry off of Amazon early out because I assumed I couldn't find them locally and because hey, I love Raspberry so how bad could it be. I think I choked down 5 of them over about 2 months before eventually tossing the remainder. Bone broth spiked with a ramen packet is another "lighter" protein (use an insulated cup with a lid, it gets unappetising when it cools off and you aren't going to drink it that fast this early out).
