This is a recipe intended for replacing 1 meal per day with Soylent, DO NOT extrapolate this to 2000 calories. For subsequent Soylent meals in the same day, use this recipe.

This is a version of Josh's Cheap Meal Replacer created for if you mean to only replace roughly 1/3 of your daily calorie intake with Soylent. Personally I wish to only replace one of my meals with Soylent, yet my diet is such that if I simply make 1/3 of a daily recipe of Soylent I may not hit my target miconutrients and macronutrients per day due to the inadequacies of the other foods that I eat. This recipe attempts to mitigate that issue by increasing the concentration of certain micronutrients and macronutrients, ensuring that with the rest of my caloric intake I hit my micronutrient and macronutrient levels by the end of the day. This is a recipe that deals with the following issues that I've found while tracking my diet:

  • Low protein (in relation to the high levels required for my weightlifting routine)
  • Low fiber
  • Low potassium
  • Low vitamin levels
  • Low omega 3, or from improper sources
  • High sodium

While this is personalized for me, it deals with a lot of the problems with a typical diet. Many may wish to lower the protein (which will make the recipe way cheaper), just up the masa content and lower the protein, add soybean oil to up the fat percentage, then balance out everything else.
