As I recall, Clif Bars are predominantly carbs and some fat. Soylent has a reasonable balance of protein and more emphasis on vitamins and minerals.

To be clear, I'm not a nutritional expert. But I've had people who know more than me tell me clif bars are basically non-nutritious.

My Choc Chip Clif Bar says 10 of its 65grams are protein with approx 10% of daily values of quite a few vitamins #NotADoctor

And too much protein?

"The FDA recommendation for daily protein intake is 50 grams on a 2,000-calorie diet."

That's not a maximum. The body can heathily process a few times that much a day (don't quote me on the precise number).

That's true but it also means they could be using those calories for other macronutrients instead.
