It usually takes from 24 to 72 hours for healthy people to completely digest food and eliminate waste products. The first stop for food is the esophagus, which moves food from the back of the throat to the stomach. About six to eight hours after eating, food passes through the stomach and small intestine.
We will focus on the gastric phase, and what you eat will determine how long the digestion takes. Fats take the longest to digest (4-6 hours), meat protein is next (3-4 hours), vegetables are next (30-45 minutes), and finally fruits (20-30 minutes).
