I use a different protein (NOW dutch choc isolate) and a different oil (smart balance). I also dropped the choline because it has a bad interaction with nicotine and I use an e-cig. When I went full soylent though I used it because I stopped using my e-cig during that time. I also added in 5g creatine.

I should note that this is a mass building recipe and meant for use while lifting. It has way more protein then you need for regular day to day. You can axe the protein down to ~60g daily and use it.

Also if you want to try it, get the corn flour from the grocery not amazon. It's waaaayy over priced on amazon.

>I use an e-cig

Why bother getting healthy in one aspect of your life if you're going to trash it in another?

How is using an e-cig trashing your health?

I''ll bet my money on the misconception that cigarette = nicotine [0]

And that health is a zero-sum game. It's not.

There have been many studies showing that they are harmful to your health. Not as bad as cigarettes, but still bad.

Have there?

I see people saying this, and I've seen that they have short-term effects one would expect from taking in nicotine (not that dissimilar to caffeine), but nothing much suggesting that they're harmful in the longer term.
