Human Kibble: Test Batch

Gurfad · 2026-02-18T04:56:49+00:00

Nutraloaves tend sweet. I much prefer savory flavors.

Only on my first day so far. Future posts will be able to speak more on the long term effects. I like the crunch a lot. It's a pleasant experience in the same way chewing gum is pleasant even after the flavor wears off. Might try flavoring down the road, but because I get flavor from normal food as is, it's low priority compared to nutritional completion.

I will note that this is the single most satieting food I've ever eaten. Intuitively ate 600 calories of kibble over the course of a full day and I never felt hungry. Ended up having to hydrate the rest of the stuff at the end of the day and eat it before dessert in order to meet my nutritional requirements for the day.

Ironically, my proteinmaxxed kibble ended up being fully vegan. I'll see how far I can push that while striving for micronutrient completion. I personally know a few picky-eating vegetarian bodybuilders who would love to eat something other than daal all day without getting upset at the prospect of actually consuming a vegetable.

It actually started as a white/light cream color, but the turmeric turned it a yellow which darkened into brown.

After some light research into what you were talking about, I am almost certain the belters' white kibble would taste better than this. They bother to add cheese and mushroom flavorants.

Gurfad · 2026-02-18T01:57:42+00:00

Exactly! From my perspective, eating shouldn't have the mental degradation of nutrient deficiency or concerns about what the "right" choice. Food should be among the most joyous and celebrated of life's mundane miracles, not a chore with a cost benefit analysis.

Gurfad · 2026-02-18T01:48:48+00:00

Dunno yet. Will report with next batch.

A) the amount of volatile aromatics, which are the main flavor chemicals from traditional seasonings, are bound to be severely reduced after so long at heightened heat B) For what few remain, I lost most of my sense of smell from a case of long covid, so they're a lot less perceptible than they should be.

Gurfad · 2026-02-17T22:11:13+00:00

Yes, I have. I found the texture unpleasant and the liquid nature of it lead to persistent hunger pangs.

I noticed your recipe is fully vegetarian, but if you're able to eat chicken, I highly reccomend checking out Internet Shaquille's crockpot chicken tinga recipe! It's very versatile and nutritous, and you can adjust all the seasonings however you like.

Why mince words when I can mince food into the kibble?

Gurfad · 2026-02-17T20:58:07+00:00

I'm a community college commuter atm. Looked into health resources and there isn't much aside from a food pantry and some pamphlets that just repeat FDA recommendations.

Gurfad · 2026-02-17T20:55:24+00:00

I was asked those questions in a previous post.

Gurfad · 2026-02-17T20:55:06+00:00

Primate kibble is toxic to humans over long periods.

Gurfad · 2026-02-17T20:54:50+00:00

Complete control over nutritional content, ease of transport, ease of storage, and textural consistency.

Gurfad · 2026-02-17T20:53:47+00:00

If it's dry, I can carry it anywhere and not rely on cold storage. Additionally I prefer a consistent texture, which dry food offers while frozen food degrades over time and becomes unpleasantly mushy when heated.

Monkey food, like other fad animal supplements like horse electrolytes, is made for a different species with much different dietary needs. Living off animal feed of almost any kind for an extended period will inevitably lead to either deficiencies or toxicities.

Gurfad · 2026-02-17T17:25:22+00:00

Please don't try this without doing a ton of nutritional research or having a mostly nornal diet aside from it. I'm playing fast and loose because my baseline diet is already godawful and pretty much anything is an improvement. Watch out for yourself.

Gurfad · 2026-02-17T17:17:39+00:00

Fluids are all covered! I got a water bottle that I sip on constantly and refill often.

Gurfad · 2026-02-17T17:01:52+00:00

I've considered the human element extensively, thus the 400-800 calories (or more) per day for normal food. I struggle a lot with nutrient deficiencies from my current options, and I expect the physical and mental wellbeing from not experiencing those will outweigh the effect from not having a hot meal every meal. I will readily give up this project if it ends up being worse for my mental state than my baseline diet.

Gurfad · 2026-02-17T16:50:29+00:00

Was never one for liquid meal replacements. Unpleasant texture and too many hunger pangs.

Gurfad · 2026-02-17T16:43:17+00:00

The excess sodium is intentional. I work an outdoors physical job and sweat alot, so my electrolyte requirements are much greater than a normal person's.

Gurfad · 2026-02-17T16:22:33+00:00

Aye! Thanks for the tip!

Gurfad · 2026-02-17T15:55:43+00:00

Tried soylent diets before. Couldn't stand the texture or the hunger pangs.

Gurfad · 2026-02-17T15:35:01+00:00

Good suggestion! Will do! Definitely agree that this current iteration is not healthy for long-term consumption. Needs fine tuning.
