    Awkward question about digestive system

    Hey guys, I have a bit of an awkward question about the digestive system relating to bodybuilding. I was wondering how often one should poop when they are eating high calorie diets and the same question for low calorie diets... for instance, right now I am in a cutting phase and I am only consuming about 2200 cals day (600 deficit) and one week I may poop every day for that entire week and then the next week its like 3 days without one poop? Haha, explain if you could.

    I'd say if it's for the first week of your cut you still have fecal matter in your bowels from the previous building week. Then when it runs out you have less. In the end, the more you put in the more you get out. Pun intended.

    i'd say im still faily regular, once a day. but i take physilliam husk to boost up the fibre content of my diet cos seems a healthy cutting diet is very dry! wouldnt bother about the frequency of the movements, im more concerned with the ease of them.lol.

    agree. additionally, i injest psyllium husk fiber every day, and nothing but good to say about it. I sound like a broken record on the subject, but everyone i finally convince to go on psyllium husk fiber usually stays on and agrees 110%.
