How many hours does it take normally for the stomach to empty totally after a good meal. Is it a good eating habit not to eat during this time?
It all depends on what you’ve
eaten, how you’ve eaten it and if you’ve had anything to drink along
with it or after it such as caffeine or alcohol. There are plenty of
variables at play here such as age, metabolism, BMI, health of the
person and so on. If you usually eat calorie rich food such as meat,
then it takes almost 4–5 hours for the stomach to get rid of it (red meat
can stay in your system 3 to 4 days after consumption and longer in the
digestive tract). Typically your stomach should empty within 2 -3
hours. When you are ill, food can stagnate in the stomach for longer
periods of time, or even quickly move on to the small intestines.
