A Poop one a week is totaly fine but if you're unsuccessfully trying for a bowel movement/poop for 3 hours something's not right. A more fiber richt diet might help. Also drinking enough water helps. Mabe get something like a squatty-potty or channel your inner rat king.

    Recent study says good = around 4 to 21 times a week. https://www.sciencealert.com/your-poop-schedule-says-a-lot-about-your-overall-health-study-reveals

    Twice a week is considered constipation.

    So I did a little more reading you're and you are right. Most sources that I found say 3x/day - 3x/Week is the usual range. More important is the Bistrol stool scale, I mean if you are having a poop once every 4-5 days but the consistency is a perfect 3-4 I dont see any harm in that.
