I'm aware, yes. That's what a nutritionally-complete pill would enable you to do.
I mentioned "home-cooked meal" for a few reasons.
1) Some people seriously underestimate the cost and labor that goes into small-scale commercial cooking. Such folks will _usually_ have a better understanding of the details of in-home cooking.
2) Some people have decided that all food that one gets at a restaurant is inherently unhealthy.
3) If you plan well (and/or have a large surplus of time and energy) you can totally set things up so that you can eat home-cooked meals every day. That's what leftovers are for.
> ...cramming 2000 calories into four or five pill sized spaces is practically violating the laws of physics, is it not?
I very much doubt it. I has been decades since I studied any physics, but I'd expect that there are many examples of substances that pack at least 2000kcal of energy in four or five pill-sized spaces. As mentioned elsewhere, it's a biology problem, not a physics problem.
