I've been using Soylent and other powdered food products (Schmilk, Keto Chow) regularly (as in 4-5 times per week) for the past 8 months.
I'm a full-time student. I spend upwards of 10 hours a day in classes or in the lab. I've tried prepping meals beforehand to avoid eating out, but in the end I always ended up getting fast food on campus because I didn't have time or energy. Powdered foods have a surprising amount of utility as a meal replacement for one or two meals a day.
Soylent itself is a fantastic product, truly. They've been attentive to the needs of their users, adapting the formula to issues as they crop up (such as digestive troubles from an excess of fiber), and recently made it a lot easier to use by incorporating the oils into the powder. Now they just send you the powder, and you mix it with water in the included pitcher. No measuring or anything. Of all the powdered foods, Soylent is easily the most convenient.
Nowadays, I'm a big fan of Schmilk. It tastes pretty good (like milk and oats) for powdered food, and it's very inexpensive at $55/week (with no subscription) for the powder (and around $10/week for the whole milk required).
