Most fecal matter is mostly water, undigested food, and a small amount of dead red blood cells and bacteria. Your digestive system mostly gains matter as a net calculation.

wiki essentially agrees:

Fresh feces contains around 75% water and the remaining solid fraction is 84–93% organic solids along with some insoluble phosphate salts. These organic solids consist of: 25–54% bacterial biomass, 2–25% protein or nitrogenous matter, 25% carbohydrate or undigested plant matter and 2–15% fat.
