There is no 'suppose to'. It's simply a matter of what works for your body.

well it depends on your digestive system.Some people will pass motion 1-2 times a day,others could be once in two days.

geez, i don't think it should be more often. I have one every other day, and i'm not fretting. just listen to what your body is telling you. That's what works for you.

it depends on your body mosr people have one a day. it also depends on your health and what you eat. i tend to have one every-other day. i wouldn't worry and if you r then talk to a dr

should be 1 or 2 times a day that's the best you need to get the waist out of your body you will have more energy and skin looks better

there is no normal answer. everyone is different and what is regular for you might not be regular for others. Make sure you are eating the right foods. Some will cause constipation, others will give you the runs. Keep track of what you eat and how it affects your bowel movements.

there is no specific # of times a person has to move his bowel in a day. for some it could be everyday and for others it could be once every two days. it doesn't really matter as long as you maintain a healthy diet and lifestyle. there shouldn't be a problem if you know your body well enough to tell if it's functioning properly.
