It's basically in the poo, dear. Poo can tell a pretty clear story about what's getting absorbed and what is not. Here is my evidence:
#1 - Nik no eat fat, Nik no poo (or at least not very often). Nik eats fat, Nik poos regularly.
#2 - Nik eat fat, poo floats (more fat content = float. More protein content = sinks to bottom)
#3 - Nik eat too much fat (and too much fat from grease especially) and Nik runs to bathroom shortly afterward
There, everything you ever wanted to know about Nik's excretory system!
