I'm going to record the frequency of your trips to the bathroom.

The items you're recording must be expressed by a noun, or "noun phrase."

"You go" is the wrong type of expression.

Edit. Dave's solution is the more natural way to say what you mean.

Although people use the expression casually, you can't count "how often" something happens.

(You can count how many times something happens.)
