Their prior formulas were supposed to hit 100% RDA on vitamins/minerals for 2000 kcal. Based on that and their claim that one bottle is 20% RDA, I'd say each bottle is 400kcal.

If true, and you need 2000kcal a day, you're going to need 140 bottles per 4 weeks (~12 cases). At $29/12 that's going to be ~$348, which is about $100/mo more than a 4 week subscription supply is today ($255).

They also raised the price of the powder today. They eliminated the bulk discounts so a month worth is more expensive. It is $280 for a 4 week subscription supply today.
