I only pop once (maybe twice) a week and I’m fine. Is this normal?

i'm with you up. I poop every 4-5 days on average and eat lots of fiber and drink a bunch of water. Yes, the poops are gigantic.
been doing it since i was born. my mom and dad told me that even as a baby all my poos were like they were done by a bear.

Sounds like you need more a regular diet. Snacking here and there as your main food source is not healthy. You probably don't consume nearly enough fiber.
OP I'm a casual pooper also, don't let these hardcore poopers bully you into thinking that you need to be pooping more. just because you poop fewer times than these popping enthusiasts doesn't mean you aren't real pooper.
I had an unbroken two and a half footer the other day, I shit you not.
After weeks of irregular sometimes borderline scary bowel movements - I was absolutely proud
That's fine, I don't go number 2 or even number 1 that often. But I've always been that way.
Don't let these frequent poopers get in your head OP. While they're on the can, you're out there living your best life.

Thought this about about pimples.
I think for poops, 3 times a day to once every 3 days is the normal range.

You're not eating enough or its your diet. Diets high in fat and low in fiber will do this. You need to take something like activia or just eat more to keep it movin' down there. But to answer your question, you'll be fine.
It depends on too many factors (age, metabolism, pills...), nobody is going to help you here. Go talk to your doctor, that's your best bet.
I can only tell you that something could be very wrong without you noticing. In short, poop has bacteria that your body needs to flush out. It's not good to keep it for days within you, because it can damage you internally on the longterm. You could think you're fine while your body is rotting from the inside. Take that shit seriously.
Except 1/2 of oil every meal will damage you really bad on the longterm. That's 1 cup of oil everyday while you should eat a teaspoon at most.
I used to be similar to you, OP. Couple times a week.
Then I became a vegetarian and now it's once or twice a day.
Bit of a hassle, really. But probably healthier.

Jesus, for as progressive ERA is, it's damn pseudoscientific at times. Embarassing
Aerith would be a loud pooper I think.
I would go to a doctor because that is not right. But... How many years has this been going on? Where is your appetite? Are you losing weight? What was it like before this once a week change? Does it come out well and not like... Bloody? Massive changes in BMs are a huge symptom to a lot of serious conditions OP.

If you feel fine and your bowel movements have no issues once they actually happen it's most likely nothing to worry about. It's not common for bowel movements to be that far apart but it's not as uncommon as people here seem to think and it can vary by culture. There's no real benefit to being "regular" and the idea that it's something to strive for is a holdover from the 19th century when people took preventative laxatives because of the incorrect belief that poop staying in your body causes disease.
