Ok, well I recently found out how good fish is, guess I was blind before. I notice that they are high in protein and almost no FAT! So I started eating almost all fish, I figure this will decreased body Fat and help me get riped. But this is my second day, and I'm getting real watery poop. Is it not good to eat alot of fish? I went out and bought alot of caned Tuna, Salmon, Kipper, Crab Meat, and Sardines. I've only eaten tuna and salmon so far, but my somach doesnt seem to like it. Any Ideas? Is this not good for me?

Doesn't sound good to me at all, You need fat in your diet or your body will kick into starvation mode and you wont loose anything and you need calories. Your fat intake should be 0.4 of your body weight. Check out this site for some eating choices http://www.bodybuilding.com/fun/stella9.htm
I don't think it's good to eat only one type of food, or mostly one type of food. You are cheating your body out of much-needed nutrients.
I would recommend only having fish 3-4 times per week, maximum, because of the mercury levels. Don't get me wrong, fish is extremely good for you - full of protein and essential fatty-acids, but I think you're taking it a little too far.
And grilled or baked chicken is just as good for you - very low fat and just as much protein as fish, if not more.

You should look into some fresh water fish as well. Maybe trout or whitefish, much lower in mercury and just as high in protein and low in fat. Although the EFA's from Tuna and Salmon are whats considered good fat so at least once a week you should have ocean fish.
I also would look into the preservatives in the canned fish you have, that could be whats disagreeing with you more than the fish.

That goes for Turkey Breast too
Fish is amazingly good for u.
in the charts top 10 of omega 3 / omega 6 containing fish:
Salmon is No1
Pilchards/herring/sardines/sprats/mackeral are all No2
Tuna is around No10
Crabmeat is 0% fat almost entirely protein!
Ive always loved seafood, but as long as you eat fibre too so your s**t stays firm, youll be fine.
PS: the mercury in the farmed fish is scare mongering to a certain extent, because most fish farms have good conditions, its only if fish are too cramped with overcrouding + cheap food pellets + poor hygein that mercury levels rise beyond safe standards.
To avoid any chance of that simply buy fresh fish from reputable markets or other resources.
