Bowel habit is the term used for how often you have bowel movements. There is no "best" number of daily or weekly bowel movements. Some people have a bowel movement twice a day and others twice a week. What’s more important than having frequent bowel movements is having regular and soft bowel movements. Your bowel habit is good as long as the frequency of your bowel movements stays about the same and your stools are soft enough to pass without straining.
