digestive tract and nutrition question

[FoBoT]

what percentage of nutrients (vitamins, etc) and calories are absorbed in each of the 3 main parts of the digestive tract?

stomach
small intestine
large intestine

is it the same for calories and vitamins/other stuff or does the stomach get most of the vitamins or something

is it about equal, 33% 33% 33%
or mostly in the stomach?
like 70% stomach, 20% small, 10% large?

any ideas?

stomach mushs it up
small intestine gets most nutrients out of it
large intestine makes it look like poop
