Poop matters
Besides the humorous title, it is a diet thread. Read on.
The weight of a food consists of these elements:
Carbohydrates, protein, fat and water.
When you eat something, the food that you just ingested is utilized for energy and recovery, stored as fat and the rest of it is dispersed by your system. "Poop" from my understanding is exactly that, macronutrients that are not utilized.
Bodybuilders usually eat 6 times a day, because of time, I eat 5 times a day and I notice that the volume of the "dispersed material" is way higher when bulking. In one of the many threads to discuss "poop" in the Open Chat, I read people saying that they go to the bathroom 4 or even more times a day, when that happens, it is that high protein food that you bought and just wasted.
I wanna know if my argument that the absorption of food variates proportionally to the time it takes to be consumed is true.
Someone with time could experiment with the same diet for two days, one day eat 6 times and the other 12 or 15 times a day, record and compare the poop volume/weight.
Anyone?

Most of the content of poop is dead microbes, fiber, bile, and other things. However, hard as it may be to believe, most of it is dead microbes.
