So, what is considered good 'crap'? I thought mine was normal till...
Color, substance, frequency?
Have you noticed a changes in your 'crap' since you started dieting and exercising?
Do you feel cleaner (inside)?
Did you use a cleansing product or just went all natural with the diet?
Tell us what you noticed. Also, add any good articles about what 'crap' should be like.
I typically was a 1 every 2-3rd dayer. Always constipated. Since I have been eating 'cleaner' and more frequently with tons more water, I noticed my body has begun doing its thing everyday, once, and sometimes twice a daily. No constipation. And color has definitely changed. Went from dark to hummus color. And I didn't use any cleansing products either.

Since taking iron tablets, I've been depositing turds that look like they've been evacuated from Satan's bowels.
TMI?7 -

have you noticed that the speed at which you exit depends on what you've eaten? and has the frequency of your exits changed?4 -

Welp, I'll be one of the first to respond with no shame in my game. I'm a vegetarian, and I have been one for 17 years, so I usually have no problem going -- Fiber for the win!. It does change based on my eating habits. For example, I'm mildly lactose intolerant, so on high-dairy days it's a bit more unpleasant and noisy to "go." When I don't consume dairy, it's dang near perfect. I hear birds singing and all.
I always have to go in the morning, and if I miss my "appointment" I have a crappy day (pun intended). According to my mom, I've always had to go at that time since I was a baby.
I usually do my business fairly quickly, but since I've been sitting down longer on the can (I'm married and live in a small apt., so it's kind of like my private time), I notice that it is taking me longer and longer to get the job done. Not sure it's age or what, but I think I need to invest in one of those squatty potty things.
EDIT: You asked about consistency/color. On my best eating day, it is large but easy to pass -- think banana sized. Regular brown though carrots can make it orange-y. Smells like poop of course, but it's a different, less abrasive smell than when I eat dairy. More grassy, if that makes any sense.

Not Enough Information...
Can you pick them up with a magnet?
I suspect they'd have the weight of dark matter..3 -
Mine are usually small rabbit pellets but they make up for their size in personality.3

+1 for squatty potty
Well....here we goooo....
I've got IBS and it was really awful when I was eating unhealthy and eating out. I mean, we're talking not leaving the house without TP and white-knuckle-driving-it when going 30 mph on my way home..or, anywhere really.
So, now that I only occasionally eat out and my diet is so much healthier (rainbows of veggies!), I feel almost normal. Maybe not birds singing, yet but having only a daily morning trip to the loo has been downright life-altering.
To answer questions - yes, to feeling cleaner. no, to using cleansing product.1 -

Had to apply it to a food I can't do... sorry. Loving the responses here from the doers and nah Sayers:) I enjoy approaching topics that no one likes to discuss ( for the most part). But all -n- all, it is a serious issue when exercising and dieting... squatty potty!!! Forgot about that.0 -

Sharing is caring, no?2 -
I've always been pretty regular, but probiotic gummies have changed my life! More frequent, less bloating, and shorter easier time spent in the bathroom.
I definitely see a difference depending on what I eat, but taking the probiotic has kept everything moving nicely even on my crappy eating days 1 -

You might have convinced me more than the pooping unicorn.

I hear a lot of ppl praising the squatty potty.1
-
No big changes to my diet or bathroom habits.
Usually eliminating once per day.
Color might vary depending on what I eat. Medium brown I suppose is normal.
Good consistency for me is probably softish and easily passed... I can't think of a good comparison. Slightly firmer than mashed potatoes?2 -

I poo more often (multiple times a day). It's lighter in color. It comes quick and exits fast with little clean up (ghost poop). It's looser and depending on what I eat a little runny. Overall, it's crap, different crap, but still crap.

Thanks for insightful response... easy enough. Conclusion is that is does matter how much you eat, what you eat, and certainly, if you're body is cleansing itself properly by the changes we make.I poo more often (multiple times a day). It's lighter in color. It comes quick and exits fast with little clean up (ghost poop). It's looser and depending on what I eat a little runny. Overall, it's crap, different crap, but still crap.

It's true. Heck the unicorn was what sold me on it in the first place!1 -

I stopped taking iron tablets because of that...1 -
I hate when you are done and you have just "cleaned up' (wiped) and as you stand up another bit Prairie Dogs.3
