I challenge you to find the same benefits any other way.
Perhaps Soylent/Joylent/etc is good when you're in a hurry but I wouldn't like to base my general diet on them
Then I tried a week on joylent. I emitted smells I have only previously come across in a hospital. The putrid reak of a gut in very great distress.
It goes away in a few days, said the internet. So I kept faith and held on for a week, then a second.
One morning I came in to find my desk had been moved to the break area. 'we noticed that your are ill so we thought it was better all round if you weren't here with the team'
I dropped joylent after that, and my bowels went back to normal. But the damage was done (indeed I had to bin some of my trousers as the damage seemed embedded in them).
So I say, joylent, okay, but only if you work from home and don't cohabit.
And the Mediterranean countries are just masters in this area (thank you Spain/France/Italy!)
Mediterranian diet has no bad problems
But to each their own
Example: Premade spanish tortilla with olive oil, for 1.75€ in Mercadona, 798 kcal[0]. Just heat in the microwave for a minute. (spaniards say premade spanish tortilla is awful but I think the Mercadona one, while not as good as home made, is pretty good)
So as the hot chick on the Lil Dicky video says, "apples to oranges".
For the whole 600g of product (which is the caloric equivalent of two soylent servings) you have 32g. If you want a higher protein-to-calories ratio, just boil eggs which are even cheaper. In 10-15 minutes one can boil eggs once a week for the whole week.
