Too Expensive. An Excellent Product. But Not Good Value Because of the Cost
Here's the deal. I am a huge fan of the Soylent concept.<br /><br />And one of the ways I maintain my weight and keep my weight down is by applying the philosophy of calories in calories out. And so, I have a protein meal replacement for breakfast that clocks in around 240 calories and has 39 grams of protein, 3 grams of fiber, 17 grams of carbohydrate and 3 grams of fat.<br /><br />Now, let's say that one wanted to maintain a weight with a consumption of about 2,400 calories per day. As Soylent points out, although one could, one shouldn't get all of one's daily requirements from just consuming Soylent.<br /><br />But if each serving of Soylent (24 servings per this cannister) is 200 calories and one were to use this product for two meals as a meal replacement, one could blow through a 24 servings container in no time at all, thus making it an expensive source for your daily protein.<br /><br />So how do I really review this product?<br /><br />Is it excellent? Yes.<br />Is it neutral tasting and not unpleasant and able to be flavored with cocoa, etc. ? Yes<br />If I could get it for a lower price would I use it regularly? Yes<br /><br />So the only comment I have is that it is a very very expensive way to do a meal replacement. If the 2.3 lb container is set up for 24 servings of 200 calories each that means that, for a daily 2,400 calorie diet, the container would be for two days. Hence, consider it only as, say, a replacement for your breakfast meal.
