Maximum calorie absorption per day

Hi Guys, I am curious. Is there a maximum amoint of calories the body can absorb in one day? Like even if you atr more it just goes „through“ your system?

Answer

Unless you start having diarrhea and are seeing undigested food in your stool, or you vomit your food back up, I would assume that you’re absorbing the majority of the calories you consume. I think that food intake and gastric emptying rate would be the main limiting factors. So it would be highly dependent on individual factors, and what specific foods a person is consuming.
