Are you saying that 70% of calories you consumed in the last 9 month came from Soylent? Are you sure about that? I'm mostly asking because it's well known that people underestimate how much food they eat, so unless you actually made food diary you are probably underestimating as well.
Aside for that, in what way was this a huge boon to your life?
I'm averaging 70% simply off the top of my head, of course - but with that said 2/3 meals a day are on average soylent - with a a couple random days a week where it's 3/3 soylent, and 1/3 soylent. It might be closer to 66% of my meals are from soylent, but it's hard to say.
It also is worth noting that i meant meals, not calories specifically. When i eat "normal" food, i eat for taste - because DIY does get boring. So, it can range quite heavily in what i eat - but i generally don't hold back. I'm a thinner guy anyway, so i don't worry about calorie intake. I drink/eat soylent for the ease of use, stability in meal consumption (i used to skip a lot of meals), and a nice feeling bloodsugar level (i have not tested my bloodsugar, strictly speaking about how i feel).
edit: Oh, and the boon, as i mentioned before is.. well, all the benefits i listed above. Specifically stability in eating. I don't skip meals anymore - which is a big win for how i feel. Moreover, a good chunk of the meals i didn't skip in the past, were filled with horrible "just make hunger go away" type meals. I don't eat fast food, so it was usually just random junk in the house. Lots of cheese, usually hah.

It's actually very easy to calculate how many of your calories come from Soylent, since you buy it on a subscription.
But the plusses for Soylent are more time, more money, less hassle and more consistent nutrition.
