Don't forget about the beer and donut cleanse you've been doing. How that working out?

I would genuinely like to know what your thoughts are on Soylent (blog.soylent.me also campaign.soylent.me/soylent-free-your-body) in terms of athletic performance or climbing performance specifically.

Soylent will contain roughly the following raw ingredients and will be mixed into a bottle of water for consumption.

Maltodextrin (carbs)
Oat Powder (carbs, fiber, protein, fat)
Rice Protein
Medium chain triglycerides (fat)
Potassium Gluconate
Salt (sodium)
Magnesium Gluconate
Monosodium Phosphate
Calcium Carbonate
Methylsulfonylmethane (Sulfur)
Creatine
Powdered Soy Lecithin
Choline Bitartrate
Ferrous Gluconate (Iron)
+ additional vitamins and minerals

I've read through your article but am having a little trouble applying what you talked about to a food like Soylent. Can you give me your opinion on how Soylent might differ from some other solid food diet in terms of "achieving higher muscle glycogen". How will regular consumption of Soylent affect recovery? Does anything about Soylent stand out as concerning? Many people seem to immediately dismiss Soylent for superficial reasons (they imagine the taste would be bad, or the consumer might tire of it quickly) and it is often hard to have an objective conversation about the true pros or cons from a nutritional perspective. I would like to hear what you think keeping in mind that the true recipe could be adjusted to contain higher carbs or similar.

The good news is, if you run out of chalk at the crag you should be fine.
