You overlooked the calories: 180 in Slimfast, 400 in Solyent. And that's just the premade drink. One pouch of the powder is a flat 2000, something I don't think Slimfast even has an answer for. Also, pay attention to the ingredient list: Milk, water, sugar, in that order. Slimfast is a diet drink as the name implies, while Soylent is a meal replacement. If you wanted to get a reasonable (non-starvation) amount of calories from Slimfast to live on it and it alone, Soylent then wins on balance and cost.

You'd have to drink more slimfast, sure, but that challenges the assertion that you cannot survive entirely on SlimFast. They also seem to have a protein shake drink http://d8m5oga7foiu.cloudfront.net/wp-content/uploads/2016/11/NF-50012-2-AdvStrawberry.jpg http://d8m5oga7foiu.cloudfront.net/wp-content/uploads/2016/1... which seems similar but obviously lower in calories, better protein:carb ratio though. They also seem to sell some powder you can mix with milk, presumably you could put more than one scoop in. Not saying Solyent doesn't work for you and I don't want to sound like I'm promoting Slimfast. It's just not the first or only meal replacement shake.
