There's Soylent and similar meal replacements, but that's a diet shake for people who try to min-max their life for some reason.



I was excited about the kickstarter because while a recovering alcoholic can completely stop using alcohol, a food addict always has to eat a little. Something bland, and quick I didn't think about was a plus. But afyer the Kickstarter they replaced the fish oil with polyunsaturated vegetable oil in powder form and dropped the rice protein content for more carbs. My triglycerides shot through the roof after the first few months of that recipe.


You could try keto chow. They started with the Soylent recipe and made it carb free (if you don't count fiber as carbs).

I'm not against carbs, I just like macro ratios more like the earlier versions. Lots of carbs and polyunsaturated oils are in the literature as triglyceride boosters. If they offered a version with the fish oil back in and the old protein ratios I'd be interested, especially if the replaced the rice protein with the collagen or fish meal from the bait fish the oil came from. At least as sustainable as giant fields of rice and safflower and probably lower in heavy metals too. Rice sucks up the cadmium.


There are several other Soylent mods out there. Super Body Fuel, Huel, and Tsogo are a few others I tried. Not a drink, but Meal Squares and Greenbelly Meals are a similar idea too. No idea if any of them meet your needs. I think there was a website that had a huge list of meal replacements.

(Edit typo fix)


Just replacing one meal like breakfast with Soylent is probably preferred over replacing 3-4.
