Your friend is likely in a fasting state since they haven't eaten anything in over two days. The postabsorptive state occurs shortly after a meal, whereas the fed state is characterized by absorption and utilization of nutrients from a recent meal. Starvation is a more prolonged state of nutrient deprivation.
