10 Signs You Are Not Eating Enough

3. Regularly constipated

Being constipated can be uncomfortable. Chronic constipation can take awhile to develop, but early signs are noticeable. They include passing fewer than one stool per day, having lumpy or hard stools, and straining to have bowel movements. In some cases, you might feel like a blockage in the rectum is preventing bowel movements or that you can not completely empty the stool. Studies suggest regular constipation could be a result of eating too few calories. It is essential to eat enough high-fiber calories to maintain healthy bowel movements.
