    What’s soylent

    Soylent is a meal replacement shake meant for people who honestly don't like food/eating. I haven't tried them, but since you seemed dead set on wanting shakes instead of food then you might be interested: https://soylent.com/

    https://soylent.com/

    It started as a thing for Silicon Valley types who find food passe and don't want to waste time cooking and eating. (Well, in reality it started as a movie: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soylent_Green, but you might not want to go there.)

    You can order it from the site or at amazon, although lately 7-11 here seems to sell the flavored ones. I've tried it and think the flavored ones are disgusting, but the plain, although bland, is pleasant enough to me. I vastly prefer to eat (I occasionally like a grab and go breakfast and was curious, so decided to try them).

    They are high-ish cal -- 400 cal a bottle. The concept is that someone drinks 5 for 200 cal and gets all their nutrients for the day and balanced macros (kind of higher fat, which is fine): 100 g protein, 180 g carbs, 105 g fat. 3 drinks for 120 cal would not necessarily meet nutrient goals and would be a little lower protein than I'd like (60 g), but probably better than your average day and definitely calorie controlled and easy to log. If you really wanted to eliminate the burden of eating and logging you could try them and see how you do.

    (If not, you are getting excellent advice on logging above.)
