Cooking a real meal for one person takes less than 15 minutes each time, so that's a maximum of 30 minutes per day (lunch+dinner) + maybe 5 other minutes for breakfast, depending on ingredients (bread+butter+orange juice=zero cooking).
I was also amazed by the cost of his daily diet: $24 per day, excluding restaurants on weekends?!? I eat natural, 'normal' food for much less than $10 per day, and I live in one of the most expensive cities in the world.
PS That said, I'm intrigued by Soylent and would like to try it -- although not at its current price point.
The idea that you can consistently get away with 15 minutes of prep time for each meal is a pipe dream. Unless you are eating the most simple and monotonous diet imaginable. If you have any kind of variety in your diet you can expect that some meals take an hour or more to prepare.
