A member asked:
Does how much you eat determine the quantity of your bowel movement?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Since most of your bowel movement is made from undigested food this is indeed the case. Clearly if you eat a lot you will have more stool than if you eat little. The amount of fiber within your food is also a factor so vegetables will produce more stool than eggs or cheese.
