Some calories, such as readily available sugars are absorbed immediately through the soft tissues in the mouth. (Glucose tablets for diabetics work this way.)
Most unprocessed foods require more digestion. Satiety starts in the stomach with simple sugars being absorbed within 30 minutes to the final absorption in the intestines at 6 to 12 hours later.
