How much shedding is condsidered normal and healthy?

If I have a few hairs coming out each day (with the white "bulb" part), is this still considered within the realm of "normal & healthy"?

In addition, when does it become a cause for concern? When there's a clump of hair coming, or more than a few? I workout a lot, so I rinse my scalp in the shower with warm water, which I doubt (I hope) is causing any shedding.

OT: Where did that "fact" come from that we lose 100 hairs a day? I freak out when I see FIVE!
