What determines if a food will come out of your body as a solid or a liquid?

Is all fecal matter simply stuff your put into your body that it couldn’t digest? Are there any solid foods you can eat that would result in 100% urine?

Are there limits to how much your intestines can digest in an amount of time?

Water comes out of your body as urine. Everything else comes out as poop – although there is also some water in feces as well.

Now, food has variable quantities of water in it. If you ate nothing but stale bread for a week and didn’t drink anything, first of all you’d probably die but until then, you’d barely pee. If you ate nothing but apples for a week and didn’t drink any water, you’d probably be pretty miserable but alive, and you’d be peeing out the vast majority of the water contained in those apples.
