How long does it take a human to digest a meal?

Answer 1

It depends on what and how much you have eaten.

Sometimes big meals can take days or even weeks to digest.

Answer 2

The stomach holds a little under 2 quarts (1.9 liters) of semidigested food. That food remains in the stomach for three to five hours. The stomach slowly releases food to the rest of the digestive tract. Fifteen hours or more after the first bite started down the alimentary canal (digestive tract, which begins at the mouth), the final residue of the food is passed along to the rectum and is excreted through the anus as feces.
