A 1000 calorie meal until your stomach is empty again? I ask becasue im supposed to take certain supplements on an empty stomach and i usually wait until im hungry too do so, but thats like a couple hours later. Isnt it like only 30 minutes though, im not really sure, anyone know?

depends on the meal.... 1000 calories of junk food or 1000 calories of healthy food.... im guessing junk food. It wont take your body long to digest the proccessed carbs and simple sugars.

24-72 hours from eating to pooping according to the mayo clinic. http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/digestive-system/AN00896and the kid that says he can eat 3000 calories a day and not exercise and still be skinny may want to have your thyroid checked.

Im sorry but its true. I have been eating on average 3 800 calorie meals a day while combing with tons of milk throughout the day. I do workout, but not much in the way of cardio. I did however gain 30 lbs in one year, but it was a combination of muscle and fat. I dont see how its that hard to not understand.

i don't mean to be argumentative but if you are taking in 3800 calories a day and not doing much in the way of cardio to burn off what you take inyou seriously should be checked for hyperthyroidism. you realize you're eating almost twice the recommended intake for a regularly active adult human.

lol yeah. and when im working out during the week i burn a lot of calories anyways so it doesnt matter. and anyways, i wasnt wondering how long it takes to go poopie, i mean how long it takes until your stomach empties after a substantial meal lol. But yeah 2-3 hours sounds about right.
