My body fat is 22% (took a Dexa scan) and maybe to be uber ripped I'd need to take it down to the high-teens but I'm not willing to give up my cheat days. I'm satisfied with my physique as it is - just the right amount of definition. May be different for lifter guys, who want to go as low as they can possibly get.
I don't see an issue with the protein shakes given your caloric needs. A lot of lifters drink shakes. I also drink a protein shake in the morning due to convenience. You may want to vary things though.
My weight fluctuates constantly as well. I'm at my skinniest on Wednesday, lol. But it's always within a few pounds of my desired weight.

Yeah in the mornings, I look amazing (as do most people). I get that V. Then I go running 15 minutes later for 45-60 minutes, I become bloated and the V is not looking so hot lol. So I know weight fluctuates all the time.
I think I just want to get rid of some extra fat that's all. I don't have a lot of it, but want to get rid of it, without starving myself.
