    Yeah, still waiting those meal pills or at least all in one superfood.

    I know there’s Huel, but it does seem to get some pushback and I can’t figure out is it legitimate or not. Like whatever it’s just based on emotional relationships to food and most people unable to eat the same thing more than few times in row or is it actually legitimately missing some crucial nutrients and would cause issues in the long term.

      I “eat” huel meal replacement shakes for like 20-50% of my meals depending on how busy I am at any given time. They’re functional as food, and the caffeine ones are super convenient as they replace breakfast and hot coffee. It is by far and away the most boring food you will ever “eat” though, and moving to a liquid calorie diet can cause some digestive discomfort. Especially if you dont get enough fiber, which is statistically likely as the vast majority of people dont get enough fiber.

        That’s good to know. I’ve never really eaten food for the emotional factor and have absolutely no issues eating the same thing in row for years, already been doing it for my breakfast for my whole life.

        Fiber tip is good, probably have to supplement it then.

        Thank you for the information.
