Yes, if starting from scratch it would be fairly complicated and take some time to perfect, but it is entirely possible and has arguably been essentially done with the various meal replacement shakes and other products on the market.

Ran a bit of personal experiment a few years ago while dieting and only ate/drank meal replacement shakes, coffee in the morning, and water/gatorade post workout for about two months before I got bored. I was in the military at the time, and working out atleast 10 hours a week and I didn’t notice any health issues during that time possibly slight improvement but I’d attribute . Biggest downside was honestly the social impact as I wasn’t going out to eat/drink and just hang out during that time. Didn’t realize how many of my regular social engagements are centered around food/drink until a couple weeks in.
