JD™ Posted December 17, 2009 Report Share Posted December 17, 2009 Hey,There's some thing I've been mulling over lately. I'm fairly 'fit' in an endurance exercise kind of way, but I've always completely ignored the nutrition side except for "carbs during the day, protein in the evening" rule.I'm now starting to think about what's going in and out of my body and thought maybe this could be a place for discussion on the topic. The first thing that got me thinking is fairly crude, but I'm talking about it in a purely scientific way unlike some other jokey threads on the subject:I eat a ton, and never feel full up for long. I always assumed this was because I was using up what I was putting in. But I have 2 (sometimes more) LARGE shits every day and it got me thinking about things. Would this mean that I am actually just filling my stomach up with crap my body doesn't need? Would I be fuller for longer, and also excrete less (not that that matters, we all enjoy a good dump), if I put in exactly what it needed? Taking that point to the extreme, if it was possible to just put in exactly what your body was going to use would you poo at all? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Clark Posted December 17, 2009 Report Share Posted December 17, 2009 Alternatively, we all know that your body doesn't really seem to digest sweetcorn and it just comes out as it goes in, so if you just eat sweetcorn and nothing else, will you eventually just poo out sweetcorn?

Fishy Posted December 17, 2009 Report Share Posted December 17, 2009 I'm sure it's just the skins that don't digest, the bit inside sweetcorn does though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JD™ Posted December 17, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 17, 2009 whats your diet like, what food do you eat. alot of carbs or fatty foods.. what are you trying to do, loose the podge, gain some muscle definition or just be healthy.Typical days intake is:Breakfast2 Slices toast with marmiteLunchA sandwich and pasta salad from Tesco or one of their Spag Bol/Lasange ready meals, probably packet of crisps and occasional bit of chocolateDinnerIt'll either be something really protein based, or more pasta if I'm skintSnacks will be either a pack of biscuits during the day, or a pack of pistachio nuts.Drinks will be 2 cups of coffee, and about 5/6 litres of water. Then there's the alcohol, enough to be drunk most evenings.I work out 4 times a week (most of that will be boxing based), and run most days. So I should be burning shit off, but I guess the pre packed stuff is doing me no favours. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
