I find that after a meal and late in the day my gut sticks out more than it did first thing in the morning..is this normal? does it have something to do with water retention?

Slim-daddy,
Yes, I think on an empty stomach, first thing in the morning, your gut will not protrude as much as it does after drinking water and having a meal. It is normal.
Alternatively, after working out, when you have the pump, you will see a HUGE difference in your physique. Your muscles will be charged, taught, and hard. If only we could look like that ALL day long! This is why in competition, bodybuilders workout prior to hopping on stage after having had no fluids for hours....

I have had this happen too. Its normal, I believe its just from consuming a quanity of food. I dont know anything about the water retention, but I think it has nothing to do with the "protruding GUT"
