It varies. Some individuals have a very rapid and pronounced gastrocolic reflex (the reflex that stimulates your colon to begin defecation after your stomach has encountered a meal), while others have less efficient reflexes. In my opinion, the gastrocolic reflex of some individuals is effectively useless, as it does not stimulate the bowel sufficiently to trigger a bowel movement anywhere near the time of a meal. Keep in mind that the normal range for bowel movement frequency is anywhere between three times a day to once ever three weeks. A BOWEL MOVEMENT ONCE IN THREE WEEKS IS NOT NORMAL. IT IS CONSTIPATION. IN YOUR DAILY LIFE OF HABIT (E.G. NOT TRAVELING), ONE SHOULD BE POOPING NO LESS THAN ONCE A DAY.
No you don't. Most people only do once daily. Your intestinal tract is way too long for food to be able to pass completely through after each meal.
Yes, after a meal distension of the stomach leads to reflex stimulation of the muscles of the intestine which can cause a bowl movement. This is called the gastrocolic reflex and is common in children; however, it can still come into action in adults.
Well balanced meal with fiber
It all depends on the person. Some people crap once a day, while others may go more often. However, if you are experiencing a sudden change in bowel habits, you should see your doctor as this can be a sign of a disease.
After eating a large meal , i have to have a bowel movement and when i do it is very loose and liquid. Sometimes it is black and turns liquid. Then cramps set in and have to go 2 or 3 times until it starts to settle down after taking iamodium d. When i just eat small meales i have no problem, only when i over eat .

The normal meaning of a light meal would be a small amount of food.
Bangers and Mash This is Sausages and mashed potatoes.
If you eat a thanksgiving sized portion then yes. If it was a normal meal then no i would say your anorexic
I think to answer your question we require more information about your diet and if you're taking any medications, supplements, etc. The reason I say this is because if you eat a plant-based diet, vegetarian/vegan, you tend to have more bowel movements than those with a primary meat/cheese/dairy diet. Questions arise also about the consistency of the movement. So, maybe you can update your question. :-) Generally speaking, there's absolutely nothing wrong with bowel movements; in fact, you should eliminate after each meal.

Not necessarily. The movement you feel after a meal can be caused by regular digestive movements or even gas.
