How fast does bodies absorb calories after a meal?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Very fast: You can absorb calories from the vascular plexus under your tongue. Some will enter your system directly from the stomach which is very fast. The rest after stomach digestion enter the small intestine where the rest are absorbed.
