A poop question


Quote  |  Reply

I feel weird asking this but it's confusing me...

If I'm eating few calories through the day but what I do eat is a high-fiber diet (pretty much all raw vegetables and fruits), is it possible to still poop a lot? Where does all that stuff come from??

Thanks in advance.

If you're eating few calories, you're going to have trouble going full stop. How much are you eating?

I haven't been counting, but for the past few days I've probably been having around 1000 calories. I know I know this is bad (I know all about starvation mode and stuff and I'm not really trying to lose/gain/do anything with my weight), but I just haven't been hungry/haven't had time/haven't had money recently, and this isn't a regular thing. From a health/science/nutrition point of view, though, I just think it's odd that I've been pooping A LOT still.

If it's not normal that you eat that little, then you're still probably pooping some extra stuff left over from last week or something.  Sounds gross...  If you're not hungry and eating so little, eat some nuts or nut butter or drink extra calories.  Never eat under 1200 though!
