Some dudes at work were talking about soylent. What do you guys make of this? I'm thinking of trying it out.

Here's what the website says about macros

Carbohydrates 47g
35% of calories
Lipids 25g
45% of calories
Protein 25g
20% of calories

Diet is the biggest struggle I have when it comes to lifting. Think I could just supplement with these, maybe worry a little less about what I eat? Eat some eggs and chicken breast etc but have soylent as my "Main meals"?

Anyway, I've pretty much already decided I'm going to try it out. Just wanted to see what you guys think, maybe hear some other peoples experiences.

bump. I'm curious too.

watched a Vice documentary about it. afaik, way too expensive and way too bland for day to day use.

Soylent is a scam to gouge money from redditors with very one-sided understanding of nutrition.

Ive tried soylent and huel (a similar product), both for cutting and briefly for bulking (had loads left over). They're bland but not disgusting. If you really, really don't care about enjoying food, they're a viable alternative for a cut. It gets very fucking monotonous though. I'd advise against trying to bulk on them because it gets expensive and you start to dread mealtimes.

They're a good time saver because there's no meal prep involved.

I'd suggest replacing breakfast and/or lunch and having a tasty, low cal dinner to keep you sane.

i use the coffiest and i've done DIY soylent in the past. I vastly prefer the real soylent product and the coffiest flavor is great. it really helps me make progress in my losses and i can tune my eating for my gainz around it.
>>
>>39324715
it tastes like thick soymilk and its pretty filling, I mostly use it to reduce meal prep time. I wouldn't suggest completely replacing all your meals with soylent, I experienced some dizziness when I first started and I think its a common experience so its obviously deficient in some way

I just want to say that I was a strange kid and my fav food was tofu and I have much larger breasts than any of my female relatives. I only found out later in life that soy mimics estrogen. So I guess if you want some juicy titties, go on ahead.

Soy consumption does not effect the hormone balances of men. Consult a peer-reviewed study instead of somebodies blog or meme image sometime.

"No significant effects of soy protein or isoflavone intake on T, SHBG, free T, or FAI were detected regardless of statistical model."

Soylent is what caused that speedrunner Cosmo to turn into a """girl""". You've been warned.

I used it for cutting and convenience.

Soy allergies run in my family(mom had a lot of tumors and had to get a hysterectomy because of it) so I try to avoid eating it

You should not just find one study that enforces your view and then peddle it on others.

Soy does not appear to significantly affect testosterone levels in moderation (1-2 servings of soy food daily, less than 25g of soy protein from non-concentrate sources), and seems to be able to adversely affect testosterone levels when superloaded (enough so that the equol issue is moot; around 100mg isoflavones daily). Between moderation and excess, there is a grey area that is dependent on whether or not one is able to produce equol from daidzein. These numbers do not apply to soy protein concentrate, which has negligible isoflavone content from ethanol extraction.

From https://examine.com/nutrition/is-soy-good-or-bad-for-me/

Also check out this study https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/21353476

Also be aware your "study" is just an analysis of other studies. An analysis of studies made some years before the one I just linked.

I wish more people like you posted here. People seem to either completely ignore reading about the shit they preach or cite a singular study that fits their viewpoint often not even reading the actual contents of the study.
