It's no wonder I'm at a loss about what to do. Do I force feed in order to consume enough kcals and protein? See my dilemma?

I see your dilemma. No two people will have the same experience. I've noticed that with increased physical activity, I have no problem with hunger; however, I have a quick satiety trigger (which I never had when I was a carb-based eater) and find my hunger shuts off abruptly during a meal. I have to be careful, as there are times when I've stopped eating in response to the satiety signal, and I am hungry early the next morning. Usually, I don't have the desire to eat until mid-day. Like you, I don't want to force feed, so it's something I deal with and in those situations, I'll just have another cup of coffee and wait until my normal eating time.
