To help "audit" why my IBS-C is so bad, I am going to post my daily diet, starting today.
If I am not following the EFI, let me know.
I am most curious on feedback as to what I am doing wrong or what I could do to better help.
So far as I can tell, I have read Heather's book, and feel this is inline with EFI.
If this is in the wrong forum, let me know.

I understand that you eat a lot of protein because of your body building, but that much meat without any fiber to offset it would constipate anyone! What about cutting back on the meat a bit, adding more SF (rice, sweet potato, whatever) and adding in some IF like green beans or something?
Also, does your egg white protein have any artificial sweeteners in it? I bought the Jay Robb one and figured out pretty quickly that whatever sweetener was in it (I don't remember which one) made my stomach hurt pretty bad...

Have you ever plugged all your info into a site like www.sparkpeople.com that can tell you exactly how much fiber, fat, calories, etc...you are consuming? That seems like a heck of a lot of food PERIOD to be eating. I have a small breakfast, lunch and dinner with a small snack in the am and a small one in the afternoon. By small snack I mean like 3 oz of applesauce or a banana. Your "snacks" are more like meals...perhaps you are eating too much?

1) My diet calls for about 220 grams of protein per day, which I need to my size and bodybuilding.
2) My meals, I think are pretty small at 400-800 calories.
3) How much fiber do I need per day? As you can see I am getting usually in the 20s....what do you think I need...and how can I do it?
-I am confused, when we say Fiber, it measures Dietary Fiber (is that SF or IF?).
Basically is there any smoking gun?
Am I following the EFI diet and what can I do better?
