How many times a day should you poop?
Not to be gross or anything, but I only poop every couple days and my friend said that was unhealthy. she really freaked out when I told her that when I am trips and stuff I will hold it for 5-7 days.
She says that is why I always feel wore out all the time.
So how many times a day should you poop?

Most people poop once or twice a day. But, it depends on your circulatory system. Everyones bodies are different, so it may just be you have a slow system. For instance, someone may poop twice a day and that would be normal but for another normal would be everyother day or every three days. It just depends on your body type. Just to be sure, you should still see a doctor. Constipation can be serious if not taken lightly. I understand the trips and stuff, i feel the same way... ha ha.

you are technically supposed to poop once a day, but I wouldn't get too freaked out if you just go two or 3 days..but once it gets into a week at a time, you might wanna see a doctor, just to make sure.

It really depends on your health conditions. If you have a health condition, it is better to go once a day. But if you don't it doesn't really matter, it would probably be better to at least go every three days or more often, because otherwise you can have some serious issues.

Ideally, you should be aiming for once or twice a day. It isn't very healthy if you're only going once or twice a week and your friend is right, constipation and bloating can cause you to feel lethargic, although it's likely that this is also down to what you're eating.
You need to ensure you're getting a balanced diet, including foods which are high in fibre such as potatoes, pulses, cereals and wholemeal varieties breads, pastas and rice. Fibre is what keeps your digestive system going so it's really important that you have the right amount in your diet.
I suggest you visit a doctor to make sure there aren't any more serious problems. He or she may also be able to refer you to a nutritionist.
