I was browsing through discussions of that blog post on reddit, and someone pointed out that his formula has inadequate fiber. One batch has 1500ish calories from macronutrients (carbs/protein/fat), and only 5g of fiber. The daily recommended intake for fiber is 38g per day for an adult male, so if you're only consuming Soylent, you'll want to increase the fiber per batch dramatically.
You're absolutely right. I've had a spot of trouble finding a source of fiber that won't expand and turn my version of soylent into a gelatin.
I tried Metamucil packets a while back to help alleviate side effects of the antidepressants I was on, and the trick with those was to drink them reasonably quickly after you added water, before they turned into gel. With the single-serving packets, you could try adding the fiber right before drinking.
maybe flaxseeds? they were used in a smoothie in this video at about 1:30
also while having more than 5g is a good idea i doubt you need as much fiber as the RDA since it assumes you're eating food
Inulin?
