The thing with the ghoul digestion system is that it's still confusing.

While it's possible that ghoul's digest stuff slower, I think it's more probable that they actually digest it faster and simply get enough nutrition to last a month.

I actually came up with a hypothesis about this. If you look at how fast Kaneki's kagune built up after eating a small piece of flesh from Amon, it suggests that ghouls are able to convert the food that they eat into energy very quickly, but can store that energy away for future use.

Although it's possible that Kaneki's kagune may have grown dramatically stronger after that first bite as a response to the potential of being able to hunt after that taste of meat. Which might explain why his hunger got so out-of-control right afterwards.

This is all speculation. I own nothing.
