In my experience, yes, the volume is very different. When I eat
mostly meat, I don't poop nearly as often as I do when I eat foods
that contain carbohydrates. In a high protein diet, I think more of
the food is actually metabolized. Other foods have components that
we cannot digest, so more comes out the other end. When eating
mostly meat, once a day is most common to me. And no, I'm not
constipated then, I just don't have as much material that needs to
be eliminated.
