What would be even more comfortable would be to use gel caps that you
take with a sip of water every however many minutes. If each capsule
had 1/2g fat (a mix of a high oleic oil and MCT) and 1/2g whey protein
isolate, one could take 2 capsules every 15 minutes for 16 hours of
waking time.
576kCal from fat and 256kCal from protein = 832kCal. Add some
indigestible fiber like Sugar Free Citrucel and a multivitamin, and
you've got yourself a serious ketogenic crash diet. Heck, let's throw
in 102kCal from 2 shots of vodka, and we're still well under a
thousand.

Someone should make those capsules. Way better than a feeding tube.
