It also is worth noting that i meant meals, not calories specifically. When i eat "normal" food, i eat for taste - because DIY does get boring. So, it can range quite heavily in what i eat - but i generally don't hold back. I'm a thinner guy anyway, so i don't worry about calorie intake. I drink/eat soylent for the ease of use, stability in meal consumption (i used to skip a lot of meals), and a nice feeling bloodsugar level (i have not tested my bloodsugar, strictly speaking about how i feel).

edit: Oh, and the boon, as i mentioned before is.. well, all the benefits i listed above. Specifically stability in eating. I don't skip meals anymore - which is a big win for how i feel. Moreover, a good chunk of the meals i didn't skip in the past, were filled with horrible "just make hunger go away" type meals. I don't eat fast food, so it was usually just random junk in the house. Lots of cheese, usually hah.

But the plusses for Soylent are more time, more money, less hassle and more consistent nutrition.
