How long does it take food to digest?
As the average person’s stomach will hold less than two quarts, it only stays in this stage of the digestive process for three to five hours. The stomach slowly releases this semi-digested food to the intestines where it completes the digestive process. Roughly 15-17 hours after you take the first bite, the food is excreted as feces.
Some foods may pass quicker than this, depending on one’s specific reaction to a specific food. And some foods may stay in your system longer. Other variables affecting digestion time is one’s level of physical activity and even drugs taken subsequently (caffeine, nicotine, prescription drugs, etc.).
