How to manage to do all of this in 2h? Just for Gym it's always around 40-50m, not counting the time to get there and back. Eat unless you always order out it takes also 40-50 (prep and eat).

The author immediately qualifies those numbers, which addresses your question.

> Now, 6h left is a high estimate, obviously; work and private can (and do) expand on a daily, fluctuating basis, as they do for all of us.

Many people can (prep and) eat in much less time than 40-50 minutes.

I'm a slow eater. It would take me 40 minutes just to finish the meal, without counting prep and cook.

I frequently wish I didn't have to eat at all - it would more than double my productivity and free time.

That wish was the itch that Soylent was built to scratch. I've gone back and forth on it, but in the end I found that mixing the powder up wasn't that much easier than just making a sandwich. The bottled version is a really quick way to get some sustenance but it generates a lot of waste...
