It is normal to poop 6 times a day.
There's no set amount of times that a persons poops per day and some people normally poop once or twice a day and some people may go a few days without pooping and then some people poop more often.
Your poop when you're healthy should sink to the bottom of the toilet and floating poop could indicate health issues such as malabsorption.
Floating poops are often an indication of high fat content, which can be a sign of malabsorption, a condition in which you can't absorb enough fat and other nutrients from the food you're ingesting.
Healthy Poop should sink and unhealthy poop usually floats.
Although it can be okay sometimes for poop to float when it's healthy and when you're healthy depending on your diet.
Normally when you're healthy your poop should actually sink to the bottom of the toilet after you poop because the contents of your poop are denser than water.
Floating poop that is also greasy and are foul smelling may be due to severe malabsorption, particularly if you are losing weight when you have the greasy, foul smelly floating poop.
Another cause of floating poop is gastrointestinal infections which is not as severe as the malabsorption and even sometimes a change in your diet can cause your poop to float.
If your poop is just floating due to a change in diet and when you poop later and it sinks then usually nothing is wrong with you.
If your poop continues to float then you should speak with your doctor about the cause as it could be something severe that needs fixed.
Sometimes floating poop is okay and sometimes it's not as it depends on why the poop is floating.
Healthy poop should appear as and look like a sausage or log with a smooth surface and be relatively easy to pass and be brown in color.

A healthy poop, should reflect a mixture of all the colors of the food you eat and that bile.
Almost any shade of brown, or even green, is considered OK.
Normal poop color is brown.
This is due to the presence of bile in the stool.
Normal poop color can range from light yellow to brown to almost black.
However if your poop is red, maroon, black, clay-colored, pale, yellow, or green this may signify a problem.
Bile from the liver creates the typical brown hue of a healthy bowel movement.
When the poop is very pale, it often means that not enough bile is reaching the poop.
Problems with the gallbladder, pancreas, or liver are reasons why poop may not contain enough bile.
Normally poop should be brown, have a peanut-butter texture, and look like a sausage.
If you have abnormal colors, it may be due to something you ingested.
But it may also be due to serious illness.
If it's abnormal once, it's likely nothing to worry about.
Symptoms of an intestinal blockage include severe belly pain or cramping, vomiting, not being able to pass stool or gas, and other signs of belly distress.
