Yep, normal range is 3x a day to every 3 days. More or less is possible but that should be checked by a doctor. If it was always once every 5-7 days it’s probably nothing and normal for you. If something changes about the rhythm then go see a doctor and that can mean you’re one of the once every 3 days people and now you poop daily. Even if it’s inside the range, go see a doctor!
And one myth: if your body is the slow type like every 2-3 days or even 3-5 days fibre and stuff won’t help, it’s just a heavier poop (in weight) after 5 days than usual.
I find that crazy, I go twice a day usually so the thought of waiting a week in between shits is horrifying. Not being able to go for a day or two is super painful, a week would kill me lol.
i unironically shit like once a week, maybe two times a week max. so i don’t understand what the fuss is all about
Despite what the other comments say, this can be perfectly acceptable if this is has always been usual for you.

You should really consider paying your doctor a visit dude
I’ve always been the same
Sounds like you need fiber

My brother was a weird child and did that too. The smell is compressed into one sitting if you did not know.
