The factors that determine how much of one's food intake passes through the body undigested are numerous, and the overall effect is far from negligible. In addition to possible effect of eating speed discussed in the article, caloric absorption is impacted by food's flavor intensity, its texture (particularly whether it's wet or dry), how readily the food can be converted to glucose (glycemic index), whether the flavor has been previously associated with elevated glucose in the the subject, what time of day the food is consumed, how long it's been since the previous meal, how much food is consumed in a sitting, whether the food is consumed along with flavored beverages (even calorie-free ones), and whether consumption is followed by physical activity, rest, or sleep.
