Why is my dog's digestion slower and stools worse on new food?

Question

I noticed when my dog was on natural balance it took her about 2-3 hours to digest her food. (Have a bowel movement) On Orijen it takes her over 5 hours to digest her food. Does that mean natural balance its easier for her to process? On natural balance she would have a bowel movement 2-3 times per day. On Orijen she only goes twice sometimes. she also seemed to have better stools on natural balance. On other foods her stools are not as firm and they are sometimes lighter colored, like tanish.

Lower stool volume may also indicate that the food is more nutrient dense and more digestible. If there is a difference between the amounts fed between the two foods, this could be a contributing factor as well.
