eli5: Why can’t you live off of suplements?

943 views

If you’d be able to afford all suplements for all vitamins, carbohydrates, fat, proteins,
phytochemicals and all the rest, why wouldn’t be able to survive like this? I always hear people saying you can’t but I never understood.

You can’t just live off of micronutrient supplements, but if you are getting the macros you need too, you can live off of them just fine. Protein, fat, and carbs all necessarily have calories, which your body needs to live. This is basically the concept behind products like Huel and Soylent.
