What Could Cause Soft Stools?

I have a soft stool question. Im 28 years old, 170 lbs, and i am/feel healthy. active, ride a bike to school, played sports my whole life. I have been experiencing soft stool now it seems constantly for months. not loose, it is not diareah. reading online i heard caffine can cause this. i do drink soda alot, and coffe/tea. can this be the only cause? my diet is normal/ not too fatty although im known to eat fast food. Stool is not discolored, no bad oder, it just sticks to the bowl and is shapless. it flushes fine. anyway its more of a concern since ive been researching it cause its been going on for a while. what can i do as far as my diet is concerned? i have no allergies that i know of.
