Thanks for writing to us.
Masturbation is normal and natural process done by 95% of males in the world during lifetime. Most of the boys when enter in age of adolscent around 15 years , they learn and start doing masturbation. It continues up to marriage.Even after marriage when wife is away or pregnant ,they do it.
Frequency of masturbation varies according to age,physical structure, occupation and invidual desire. There is no criteria about frequency which can called normal. One can do whenever wish and need.
Frequency of masturbation is abnormal when it is compulsion. It means when you need to masturbate at cost of your work,study or daily routine; it is abnormal.
Normaly when you masturbate with hand, it cost approximately 80-120 calories which you can get from 150 ml of milk.So it is not going to cause any weakness,if you are taking routine regular diet.
From above information you can decide your frequency is normal or not.
Your weakness mostly is psychological but you can take multivitamins as well as milk / egg daily.
Hope I have answered your query,I will be happy to help further if need.
