What Causes Bowel Movements After Having Meals?

Hi, i have bowel movement 15 minutes after meal. Always a good bowel movement, no pain and always feel lighter after. Im not sure if that is healthy, that i have a good metabolism or that is some kind of disease. Ive been eating healthier, and not eat until i bloat maybe thats also a reason why? I m not a big girl either. Thanks
