The product you link to contains 100kcal/serving. If you attempted to live off of this @2000kcal/day, you'd be going through 2/3+ of your container every day. It seems likely that you'd overshoot some of your micronutrients. Finally, Amazon has this GNC product as $40/can or $0.013/kcal.
Soylent is alleged to provide an appropriate amount of kcal, carbs, fat, protein and micronutrients/vitamins in a normal number of servings per day (e.g. 3). It's currently much less expensive than the GNC product at roughly ~$0.0038/kcal (assuming $255/mo, 84 meals/mo, 800 kcal/meal for men's formula).
- seiji 13y agobzzt you ran out of context. The context of the post is "micronutrient" things, which a vitamin supplement powder surely provides a comparison for. The Soylent post reads like someone re-inventing a programming language and writing a paragraph each about "Now, we are including a 'for loop' because people want to iterate over variables while increasing their values. This can be used for activities like..." — it's all just very elementary school boot report feeling. We're not talking about eating 20 scoops of vitamin powder a day to live off of. That would hurt pretty bad.
- gnoway 13y agoSorry, I misunderstood the context. You said something to the effect of 'still don't understand how this varies', except the micronutrient profile was released on 12/12, so that kind of bounds your curiosity at one day, which is confusing. Unless you really meant the product as a whole in comparison to the vitamin and mineral powder, in which my reply was an overcomplicated way of saying "it's not a basic bulk vitamin and mineral powder."
