How long does it take for the nutrients of the food you eat to be absorbed

okay i ate an 18 oz boneless ny strip about 30-45 minutes ago, and i either ate it to fast or it was a little to rare because i just had a pretty decently sized bowel explosion. so my question is, did my body uptake any of the nutrients, protein, iron, zinc, etc, from the steak that i ate or did it all come out the other side?

Trust me it wasn't the steak coming out the other side, too little transit time....but it got your bowels movin.

Yeah... More likely the gastrocolic reflex making room for the steak...
