I have been trying to find ways to reduce food costs significantly, while maintaining optimal diet and minimal prep time. I settled on using a combination of both Soylent and Huel with a variety of other ingredients, and making four large shakes. I then make a whole food dinner every night to get extra calories in, while getting a belly full of real food. What are the possible negative side effects of this diet? I know some people talk about phytonutrients, but I cannot find any sources on recommended amounts or actual value for the dozens of phytonutrients. I try and keep up by including some veggies in the final meal.

​

4 Shakes comprised of...

Soylent

Huel

Bananas

Chia Seeds

Oats

Peanut Butter

Skim Milk

Cinnamon

Cocoa Powder

​

1 Large Meal comprised of...

Chicken Thigh

Broccoli

Brown Rice

Black Beans

Red and Yellow Pepper

Jalapeno

Carrot (shredded)

Eggs

​

This meal plan gets me 3400 calories, with 25% protein, 37% fat, and 38% carbs, with 58 grams of fiber and a 4:1 omega 6:3 ratio. I should mention that I am bulking right now for weightlifting.

Analysis of the micro-nutrients shows me having 100% or greater of A, C, E, K, Thiamin, Riboflavin, Niacin, B6, Folate, B12, Choline, P-Acid, Calcium, Iron, Magnesium, Potassium, Zinc, Copper, Manganese, and Selenium. The protein amino acid profile is also balanced.
