Episode Details

Daniel wants to build a homemade, low-fat meal replacement system for busy workdays. We walk through the format decision (powder wins over bars for shelf life, cost, and flexibility), then design the powder from first principles — protein source, carbohydrate base, fiber, and overlooked ingredients like potassium bicarbonate and nutritional yeast. This isn't a recipe; it's a systems design approach where you start with your target nutritional profile and work backward to ingredients.
