Basically it is due to your body being in a state of anabolism if you have a positive nitrogen balance and if not your body is in a state of catabolism. I wouldnt rely on how many times you shit/day to decide whether or not your body is in + or not. If you are using aas and training and eating smartly then you can be sure you are in a positive nitro balance. ------------------ | ||

i thought that the nitrogen balance was determined by how much nitrogen is excreted to how much is consumed? | ||

I think it can be tested using a urine sample. I remember several years ago a company was selling some sort of home testing kit. seems sorta dumb though. you don't need a test result to tell you that you are growing or not growing. | ||

You can test it with a urine sample, any doctor can perform this quite easily. You must remember just because you are urinating alot or excreting alot it does not refelct on nitrogen levels. For example imagine drinking gallons every day. You are gonna piss out a lot of water. It is what nitrogen level is in the piss and not how much you pissed. | ||
