I have heard that its good if you use the washroom (#2) on a regular basis. It means your metabolism is in high gear and being very efficient. I poop about 2 times a day or so.................Is my Metabolism too high? Am I over pooping?

    Every morning at 8:00am... I strive for 'S' shaped BM's

    Do you ever catch yourself telling your corn "I'll see you tomorrow"? I do.

    I go after every time I eat. Before I went vegan a few years ago, I was lucky to go 2-3 times a month. But now that I eat all whole-foods and cut out the dairy (which I found out later I was allergic to!), I would say I'm pretty regular!

    Wow, that is a lot. I could not imagine going 5-7 times/day (that is how often I eat)

    Two times is not too much, means you are getting enough fiber. I am definitely an A.M.er but wish I went twice everyday. LOL, if we discuss poop what next. :laugh:

    Once per day...if that. Also, Dr. Oz Says anything floating means there is fat in it.

    I go at least 3 times a day on workdays - but that's usually so I can log onto MFP on my iPhone and catch up on things. Usually no paperwork required.

    How many times a day do you EAT?

    I eat about 5x a day, small meals, and yes, I poop about 5x a day too. *grin* What goes in must come out... my pipes are CLEAN.

    Also, "over pooping" is a very subjective term.

    I think once or twice a day is healthy.
    Any less than that and I would start eating more roughage/fiber.

    Also, now that fantasy football is back, my visits may coincide with roster changes.

    It's the first thing I do when I get up in the morning! Everything after that is bonus.

    I use to watch that show... cant think of the name, Gillian McKeith or something was on it and made everyone poop so she could "check it out" eww I know but she always said you should go 3x a day if you eat 3 meals and so on... By the way this topic kind of cracks me up!

    Floaters can also mean you are eating a high fiber diet. It floats too.

    Twice. In the morning about 10 minutes apart.

    I have mild IBS also so some days are worse than others.
