/mealreplacement/ is there a valid reason not to try meal replacement?

It helps if you can't get real food.

But those situation are pretty damn rare. Whey is the only thing that actually helps since protein is harder to get throughout the day. But carbs and fat? Those are everywhere

It gets weird after a few days, not as fulfilling as proper food, even if food is boring. Started messing with my energy levels after a week. Got kinda tired and constipated (even if enough fiber).

also micro nutrients are not a problem if you don't eat junk food all the time.

I think that soylent is the fucking future. If we want to progress as a human race stop cutting down rain forests for your fucking crop fields and start mass producing this shit. If I could get my hands on it, I wouldn't eat anything else... Fucking shit is GOAT

I find protein quite easy to get as well as the others, the problem for me is balancing calories, macros /and/ other nutritional requirements. Would it not be more efficient to have meal replacement that never changes and save time cooking up new shit?

What would you think of having one solid meal per day and the rest a meal replacement?

>>35349284
I eat healthy mate I didn't fall for the dirty bulk meme - one of the reasons I'm considering this, as I don't want to compromise on my bulk just because it's a little hard to balance my ratios

Well one could imagine than in the future you could go to their site and just order meal replacement tailored for your macros and calories. Why not just buy a bag and see how it goes? I for one prefer real food even if my macros aren't perfect, I'm willing to compromise. Hit protein goal and calorie goal and eating as healthy as I can.

Cheers brotha. I might just do it to see if it positively affects my nutrition goals, and stop if it negatively affects it

I've also had the same business thought of meal replacement tailored towards macros, never researched to see if it was done though.

I'm not sure that will work, because eating food is something people like a lot

>>35349295
You don't think soylent is made from crops? Rain forests are cut down to grow soy. OK, I just realized I fell for your bait.

>>35349531
and i fell.for your bait.
most soy is used for cows and animals. So yeah altogezher we would need less soy and less rainforest

Why not make your own for the fraction of the price? with whey instead of shitty rice or soy protein.

If tastes like sadness. Seriously - absolute shit. If it didn't and was the same price as regular food I might consider it.

Why not stop being so poor that you can't afford convenience?

Stop working at McDicks

It's like you don't even want to leave humanity behind. That said, there's nothing stopping you from adding your own flavoring agents to your Soylent.
Also, Soylent powder is $1.54/400 kcal; hoe much does regular food cost you?

I've been on Huel for about 6 weeks now at least. I have about 1-2 shakes per day, breakfast and lunch usually in work to save money and for the convenience.

At home, I still have a home cooked meal and protein shakes when I need to make up to my protein macro.

Generally I've found it to be great. Huel is palatable and basically tastes like oats and vanilla.
As for energy levels and general well being. I can't say I feel particularly better, I've never been malnourished really. But from I've been on this I've not noticed any dips below baseline, so I'm running at full health all the time. No lethargy and I'm making good gains on my lifts and putting on weight.

Can't speak for a full meal replacement. Too much for me, I enjoy eating and cooking too much.

How is this a replacement? You're still having a meal.

This is a meme and a half

I think its more an awkward use of language. It is literally food, it's just the context these liquid based things have historically been called.
