Many people believe that the definition of a normal bowel movement is having 1 movement each day, but that is not true for everyone. There is no rule for frequency of bowel movements, but the general range is from 3 times a day to 3 times a week. Less than 3 movements a week may indicate constipation, and more than 3 watery stools a day could indicate diarrhea.
I pulled the paragraph above off about.com
My doctor says that if I'm eating a healthy diet, and pooping at least three times a week - I'm fine.
Hope that helps.

Yes it is, pooping is different for every person. Don't be alarmed if it's not every day, some people are like that (including me!) As long as it's a regular thing and not more than 3 days it's ok.

What's Normal?
Many people think that normal means having one bowel movement every day, but that's not always true. People are different, and so are their bowels. Normal for one person might be three bowel movements a day, and normal for another might be three bowel movements a week. If your bowel movements fit somewhere in that range, then you're on a normal schedule

No, normal would be 2 - 3 times per day.
You are lacking fiber in the extreme.

Depends on how old you are, it's ok for kids and teens, try stay regular like once a day when you hit 30.

as long as you feel healthy in every other area of your body and you are not missing out on anything in life, i say you are perfectly fine. if you ever get really constipated or have diahrea, see your doctor.

Normal is everyday!
So add more fruit, vegetables and of course make sure you eat breakfast...everyday!
If you need to, take a fiber pill everyday!
So take back control of your life, and strive for what's normal for you.....waste is just that....waste!
