There's not a direct way to measure, but you can check some aspects nutrition status with blood panels, and you can do imaging and scoping to get a look at the surface of your intestine, to see if it looks functional. The scoping is invasive, and the imaging is expensive, so you probably don't need to do it unless you think your leanness is a problem. If you're just a light eater, have good energy levels and show no signs of nutritional deficiencies, that could be all the explanation you need. There are those who say that a calorie restricted diet is THE MOST healthy way to go, and the way to live the longest.
