This 330ml is smaller than the regular 414ml bottle.
Soylent is significantly worse in terms of macros and cost compared to cooked and blended soybeans.
This bottle of soylent has 320 calories, 19g fat, 28 carbs (3g fiber), and 16g protein.
72g of dry soybeans has 320 calories, 14g fat, 21g carbs (6.5g fiber), and 29g protein.
I personally blend pressure-cooked dry soybeans on the regular and they make for a satisfying meal replacement shake. Oh, and the above example of 72g soybeans costs me $0.16 because soybeans are $1/lb from my local Asian grocer. 10% of the price for 180% of the protein in this linked Soylent.
If you desire Soylent, it's a good deal for Soylent. But if you want soy protein and a meal replacement shake for cheap, just take the time to pressure cook and blend up some soybeans. Takes quite literally 2 minutes of active prep, from washing the beans to blending em up after cooking. Saves you money and gives a superior product with no additives or fillers.

The science is in, and no one showed up.
If you think in the term of 'hacks' try to the following as a hack:
Do not load up in carbs in the morning like cereal . All you're doing is telling your body to start generating fat on your body first thing in the morning.
If you wait until 10 or 12 before you eat at all, you'll be even more healthier.
Your first meal the day should be protein , and not too much. Almost no one needs more protein than the size of a deck of cards. And if you eat too much protein, your body starts a body process that converts the protein in into carbs (it takes your energy to do this processing as a form of fatigue)
Take a shot of olive oil . You need to do the research and know what real olive oil is. Most olive oil is out there are blend of weirdness off oils from Europe.
Not only is the olive oil extremely good for you , fat satiates, and remove your need to be hungry.
Eat polyphenols . They are in coffee, blueberries, walnuts, pure dark chocolate. There's a whole list on the Internet. Red wine also has polyphenol. But everyone's getting away from drinking there's no reason to drink red wine.
The main thing to understand is the type of bacteria bugs in your stomach determines how hungry you are how often and what you're hungry for. If you stay away from carbs and all the nasty stuff people eat, and instead eat a little kimchi, or truly fermented pickles or pickle juice. This is what a good stomach bugs like to eat. If you get your stomach colonized with the stomach bugs (bacteria) it will regulate your hunger, you don't have it. I've been in the state where I would eat the amount of thin sliced carrots and some green vegetables, about a cup worth, and I went about a month mostly on that diet. I had zero appetite. Eventually, 2 months in, I knew it was healthy to stop. It wasn't a full diet. I lost a lot of real weight in that two month period.
If you eat regular people eat you have bugs in your stomach that make you real in hunger .
The biggest trick of all is the mind trick where you're looking at food in the store and it's complete garbage like the biscotti I was just looking at . And you just stop the voice in your head that wants to buy it and instantly emotionally detached. The biggest thing you can do in the world is not put the bad stuff in the cart in the first place, while simultaneously putting something in the cart that you should eat. Don't worry you'll get hungry enough to eat it. And good food has strange effect in where you start craving it even though it has no supposive 'better taste' acceptance like sugar.
Here's where I get trashed by the mediocre it's fine . I love you (welcome to Costco I love you).
Yes, for instance, olive oil is generally pretty healthy (and certainly one of the healthier oils in general), but if you consume extra olive oil while still consuming a lot of other calories, that's not a positive thing.
Same thing for intermittent fasting. Some folks have found it helpful for feeling healthier and losing weight, others haven't. And the science is still inconclusive here; some studies show positive effects (for some people) and other studies show increased levels of cortisol when intermittently fasting.
The best advice you can give if you're gonna generalize?
But it should be pretty easy to spice things up. Sugar, honey, vanilla, cocoa powder for sweetening. Salt, chicken bouillon, whatever herbs and spices you want for a savory twist (can consult lentil soup recipes for ideas).
