    Somewhere around the first month of logging and eating healthy with MFP, I got very very constipated as my friends can attest lol. I even bought a serious sodium laxative at CVS. It took a day or two after I took the laxative for me to become regular again but I do believe that it helped. My body is used to all the fiber now I think and things are pretty regular these days.

    you think the fiber caused it? thats interesting
    or maybe you mean just the stress of the sudden change on your body?

    I have crohns, so i cant be considered normal.. but my "normal" is every 4-5 days..

    when i have a flare, i go 20-30 times a day. (not over estimating there ...)


    I eat approximately 4 apples and about a pound of other fruits per day.. and i STILL only go every 4-5 days. Thankfully, i havent had a flare in several months!

    While dieting on my 900 calorie a day diet, I only have to poop about every other day. Then I always lose weight the next day on the scale.

    Why only 900 calories?

    Lets stay on track here... not everyone eats to lose. Leave them alone. damn... you mention less than 1200 and they come after you like you said bath salts!

    Depends what I eat. When I avoid meat it is usually 2-3 days even though I have a high fiber intake.
    With meat it is every damned day when I wake up.

    It was just a question. Relax. It isn't like I threatened anyone with a machete.

    Depends on what I ate send how much of it and how much I workout. 1-2 times a day I would say my average is.

    It's changed since I started working out. I used to poop everytime I went to the bathroom, now to have to have a good poop, I have to have some orange juice/milk and go walk for an hour. Hopeful once I go into maintenance it will work itself out.

    Mine is completely tied to how much water I drink and fiber I eat. If I am eating healthy and drinking enough water it is once a day or every other day. If I have a binge day or eat junk food and drink soda instead of water then it is about three times a day.

    And then there is that lovely time of the month (if you know what I mean) where I can get backed up for about three days.

    It's their poop, so it's private.

    Pooing is private! :angry:
    Everybody likes their own brand, but I want to share mine with the world.

    That said, I'm a 1-3 / day guy.

    I'm a once or maybe twice a day kind of girl thanks to Metformin.
    Without it, it could be two to three days in between, and my stomach starts to hurt. :<

    I think it is safe to say that "regularity" will be different from person-to-person. For myself, I know when I am eating healthily and working out regularly, i go once-twice per day (usually always once in the morning). When I eat like crap I notice I only go about once every two-three days. Imo, it's bc my body is hoarding all the nasties/wastes it shold be processing and not getting rid of them properly.

    I would suggest you ask your doctor about it if you are worried something may be irregular with your digestive processes.

    This, almost exactly!

    Once a day person generally, always soon after having my coffee when I have got up for the day.

    When I was larger, one every other day and had to strain, now every morning like clockwork with ease!

    Usually once a day. About mid-morning after my body has "woken up" some. Normally if I've eaten a lot or have been constipated, once I unstop the dam, it's about 2-3 times a day, or until my colon is cleared.

    Calorie deficit makes me poop less often, maybe once in 1-2 day(s), and it takes longer to do it too. Calorie surplus makes me poop often, like 2 or even 3 times a day, and it comes out right away. At maintenance, I go about once a day, quick and smooth.

    I think my intestines and my taste buds are in cahoot.
