Detailed explanation-1: -How much should I be pooing? The average person poos about 30 millilitres of stool for every five kilograms of body weight a day. So for the average 70 kilogram person, that works out to about a half a kilogram (one pound) of poop per day.

Detailed explanation-2: -If you’re having bowel movements more often, chances are you’ve made some change in your lifestyle. For example, you may be eating more whole grains, which increases fiber intake. More-frequent bowel movements also could be related to a mild illness that will take care of itself.

Detailed explanation-3: -Infrequent bowel movements may be related to inadequate calorie intake. This isn’t surprising, since consuming very little food will result in less waste in your digestive tract.

Detailed explanation-4: -The normal length of time between bowel movements varies widely from person to person. Some people have them three times a day. Others have them just a few times a week. Going longer than 3 or more days without one, though, is usually too long.

Detailed explanation-5: -Sit on the toilet properly: Brace – allow your stomach muscles to push forwards. With each urge to empty your bowels, repeat the brace. Keep your mouth slightly open and breathe out. As you finish, pull up your anorectal muscles (the muscles that control your bottom).
