Best Answer

The best way to answer this question is with a normal range, since there is variation from person to person. The normal range for daily pooping is from three times a day to once every three days. Therefore, it would be fair to say that the average person poops about once a day. When someone poops four times a day or more and the poop has a liquid consistency, this is referred to as diarrhea. When someone poops less than two or three days a week and the poop is hard, dry, and difficult to pass, this is known as constipation.

To a certain degree, it varies from person to person. For some people, having one bowel movement a day can be considered healthy. For others, three bowel movements a day is healthy. If a person has over six bowel movements a day, this may be an indication of diarrhea, irritable bowel syndrome, ulcerative colitis, or another gastro-intestinal abnormality.

A healthy adult will usually defecate once a day. However, it is also within normal to defecate only two or three times a week, or even three or four times a day, depending in diet, etc.
