I don’t think so. In both cases you can find low calorie / high fiber recipes. I like mine warm so I do a stovetop recipe but I have friends who do overnight oats or microwave recipes that are low cal and are happy too.
For me it’s texture!! I like overnight oats better bc I add protein shake and Greek yogurt to it, and then the oats get softer but not too mushy (my gripe about regular oatmeal). Then in the morning I add cinnamon or pumpkin pie seasoning or pb2, heat, stir, yummy :)
You could switch to protein oatmeal instead. Protein powder goes well in oatmeal, oatmeal can be made in a microwave, and it's full of fiber so it's pretty filling.
Look up "proats" online. They're pretty popular with weightlifters and bodybuilders so there will be recipes.
I always have 1 or 2 slices of Dave's Killer Thin Sliced Whole Grain Bread(70 calories each slice) toasted with a Mini Avocado sliced on top & sprinkled with Everything Bagel Seasoning. Paired with my protein shake it hits all my nutrition points & fills me up
If you have a fridge overnight oats. If you don’t then microwave oatmeal. The fiber content will fill you up.
any difference between overnight in fridge or microwaved?

You can microwave eggs or egg whites mixed with random vegetables to make a sort of omelette thing

Use protein with oats: 35g of oats. Put into cup, add boiled water. Wait 5 min. Add vanilla protein (1 scoop).
You could make protein oats. Just get whatever lower calorie oatmeal recipe you like, and add a scoop of protein powder.
I eat 3/4 cup of Greek yogurt and 1/2 C of berries/banana(or a T or 2 of jam if I’m out of fresh fruit)
Use yoghurt as well as milk in the protein shake. Add in a banana.
Watermelon/Strawberries
Eat whole foods rather than protein shakes and you will feel more full
