Eating lots of fiber but no poop
Hey what's up.
So basically I'm cutting right now and I'm eating close to 40g of fiber through vegetables and what not everyday while drinking copious amounts of water.
I weigh 150, my macros are 200g protein, 150g carbs, 50g fat for the day and my protein sources are egg whites, whey, chicken, and tilapia.
What I don't get is I don't get bowel movements frequently, sometimes up to like 3 days and it kind of freaks me out. When I do, I have to put quite a bit of effort into it and it's not even like one of those super clean quick ones. They're normal sized stools. I'm eating a lot of fiber, at least I think I am, but it's just chillin' inside me and takes forever to move out.
Also, the thing is though, I notice when I have a cheat day, the following day is a guaranteed poop. Not sure why.
Am I getting enough fiber? Is a high protein diet slower to digest than normal diets?
I've also thought about it being related to stress but anyone else have something similar going on?
