The foods that take the longest to digest or fats. They can last in your stomach up to 8 to 10 hours at times. Oils are considered fats. Carbohydrates are usually the first to be Digested followed by protein.
I can only answer this in the most general sense since individual foods are not typically studied. The stomach empties more slowly with a larger meal and a higher calorie meal, especially high fat content meal. This is what will delay digestion the most. So, foods with high concentrations of calories and fats (cream, fatty meats, heavy oils, heavy sweets, etc. - all of the foods that are bad for us) digest most slowly.
