Are proteins absorbed faster than fats in the digestive system?

Proteins are not absorbed faster than fats in the digestive system. In fact, fats are generally absorbed more quickly and easily than proteins. This is because fats are broken down into smaller molecules called fatty acids and glycerol, which can then be absorbed directly into the bloodstream. Proteins, on the other hand, are broken down into amino acids, which must then be further processed in the liver before they can be absorbed into the bloodstream.
