Soylent 1.0 Macronutrient Overview
- goldenkey 13y agoSeems like a low amount of protein, only 20%. Are there going to be different varieties of soylent for those who do more muscular activities?
- st0neage 13y agoYou could just add protein powder?
- goldenkey 13y agoI suppose but the whole point of this Soylent is to be a meal out of the box, no changes needed.
- pkulak 13y agoWell, the oat flour has about 40 grams and the isolate is another 102 grams, or about 140 grams total. That's an entire small chicken. 20% of your calories from protein actually seems respectably high to me. Probably plenty to build all the muscle you want, despite what the current bro-science says. Especially if all that exercise ups the amount of Soylent you need in a day, or forces you to supplement with other sources high in protein.
- goldenkey 13y agoI see, hmm oat flour seems really awesome. I'm gonna have to get some of this soylent, that or start eating more oats. :-) What are your thoughts on Spirulina? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spirulina_(dietary_supplement) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spirulina_(dietary_supplement)
- pkulak 13y agoI've never heard of Spirulina, but oat flour is my own personal super-food. I use it as a meal replacement, mixed about 3 parts oats to 1 part protein powder mixed with water. Maybe some dextrose thrown in if you need it a bit sweeter. I love the stuff and I'm glad the guys at Soylent are making it a large part of the formula.
