Obviously, fresh whole foods will digest faster than say cookies, white bread, overly processed soy cheese, and such things. And if you eat a lot of fiber, things will pass through your system much faster. * how active you are. Usually, people who are more active overall tend to have a higher metabolism. * If you use any kind of drugs (even over the counter stuff). Caffeine has been known to speed up the digestive process, while alcohol & some other drugs can slow it down. Personally, if I've been eating pretty healthily, I'll usually be either farting or pooping out my last meal no later than 4-8 hours after eating it. It depends on a few things…

I read that around 1822 a guy was shot in the stomach and survived with a hole in the stomach. doctor william beaumont saw that meat digested faster than leafy veggies. how long it actually takes for fruits, nuts or grains, I really wouldnt know. no, its meat.
