Detailed explanation-1: -As an adult, your stomach has a capacity of about 2.5 ounces when empty and relaxed. It can expand to hold about 1 quart of food.
Detailed explanation-2: -The average human stomach can hold about one liter before that feeling of fullness kicks in. But some stomachs can stretch to hold as much as two to four liters. If the pressure in your stomach significantly increases, you’ll feel nauseous.
Detailed explanation-3: -The empty stomach is only about the size of your fist, but can stretch to hold as much as 4 liters of food and fluid, or more than 75 times its empty volume, and then return to its resting size when empty.
Detailed explanation-4: -"The stomach can expand to hold up to 4 L (4.2 qts.) of food, more than 50 times its empty volume."
