If we ate the exact amount of vitamins needed, would we even shit?

If we ate the exact amount and all the required vitamins and minerals, would we even shit, cause from what I'm aware of, we only shit waste and if there's no waste to shit then we wouldn't shit right?

lmfao... yes, but no

besides the nutrients... you also need a "vehicle" this means, something that brings in the nutrients and keep them safe enough to be absorbed properly, lol

also... there's all other kinds of things we need to process such nutrients... and both the vehicle and the "catalyzers" would be get rid of

Good question!
I’m guessing ‘no’, but something also tells me that if you ate so little you never pooped, you’d probably lose a lot of weight. Completely guessing though.
I very rarely come across a question here that is something i haven’t already pondered.
Kudos!

I think so. Waste needs to leave the body somehow.

yea not all of food is vitamins and minerals

Yes, waste isn't just from overeating, its also from out body processing the nutrients into things we can use. This process creates byproducts, some we run on, and some that are toxic and we have to expell.
Also, your body needs proteins (including fats), sugar, and water to even absorb and use vitamins and minerals. So if you stopped eating food and stuck to only vitamin suppliments, you'd just die.

that's not how the body works. even babies with minimal calories shit coal
