Memes aside. Is it a good alternative to traditional food? I am fucking lazy to cook food. My diet only consists of fast food.

Get a second-hand slow cooker and some slow cooker bags. It takes 99% of the effort out of cooking or cleaning up afterward. Even the laziest NEET could manage.

I use to do long commutes to work, 2 hours each way. I was eating fast food all the time, and wasn't able to cook a good meal until the weekends. My health was suffering. I was pissing a bright reddish orange, My bowel movements were irregular and hard to pass, and I had no energy. I needed a fundamental shift. I found Jimmy Joy (then called Joylent) and it saved me. Replacing a minimum of 1 meal a day with it cleared up my urine, brought my bowels back into normal schedule, and I pooped like a champion. Not a shill, just a testimonial. I can't say it's great for everyone, but it was an absolute life saver for me.
I had my wisdom tooth taken out yesterday, and they wanted me for the first day at least to eat only cold liquid foods, pudding, or ice cream. I tried to do the ice cream and pudding, but my body wasn't giving me the "stop eating you're full" signal. I had 3 bags of Joylent left over (I quit that commute job about a year ago). I mixed it up with half/half with water and milk, cause all water tastes weird to me, added some mixed fruit, blended, and drank about 500mL. I was good, finally satiated. So ya anon, soyboy shakes have their usage cases, but don't give up on real food for good.

Why not just go for a decent tasting protein shake at that point? 30% less calories and better taste.

Nigga, most protein shakes taste like sucralose-flavored jockstrap. I'll put some honey and a little vanilla into my Soylent and that's all it'll taste like. Also, protein shakes are fuckhigh in sodium and source a large portion of their calories from carbs instead of the protein or lipids which don't provide balanced energy. Soylent is a bit more balanced between kc from lipids vs. carbs, and has roughly 20g of protein per 8 ounce meal (a little more if you're using the powder).

It's better and cheaper. You can budget 400 kc into your diet every morning with ease.

It's fucking abysmal. Not as cheap as it should be, made by a myopic autist that doesn't know what the fuck they're doing, unsafe, moldy, tastes disgusting. Ditto Huel

Soylent and Huel are the bitcoins of food. This is a bad trend and I wish it would go away.

Not a good idea. I lived in an ED ward for a while and there were patients that refused to drink anything but Boost and they got so ill they transferred out. It's not good for total diet replacement.

HUEL is good

>> No.11064392

It's fine if you drink it instead of not eating or eating a fast food burger meal. I say if it's between one or the other, go for it, but work towards healthy eating cause drinking that shit for every meal isn't healthy

No, it is nearly $3 per bottle and you need to drink about 4-6 for a normal days worth of calories. You can eat cheaper and healthier with just whey protein, rice or noodles, cheap meats, and some veg

Suicide is a good alternative, you'll never need to eat again and any resources that you'd consume would go to a more deserving person that isn't a faggot.

So in short you should eat buckshot.

No why would you even think that?

Whey is mostly protein while HUEL is meant to be macro balanced. They serve entirely different purposes. But it would be a decent post workout just not a protein shake.

>60 euro for 14,000kcal worth of mainly oats and rice, with some whey and pea protein and a dribble of oil
You're paying at least double what you'd pay for similar macros if you used solid food and at least 5 or 6 times the equivalent price if you had a powder/liquid based diet. Also prepare yourself for atrophied jaw muscles and terrible digestion.

You're paying about 3 euro for an oat shake with protein in it. Even the oat and protein mixes that they sell in gym vending machines at a big price hike are more money efficient for the same nutrition.

>Whey
Why do so many people in this thread think whey and meal replacements are the same. Whey powder (unless it's garbage) is mostly protein. You can't live healthily off of just protein.
