Even on tranquilised animals being weighed and measured by scientists, if someone really knows what they are doing they can even just squeeze the animal's abdomen and feel if there is bulk in it's stomach. It may not be accurate down to the gram, but if an animal is gorged on meat you can definitely feel it. I'm not sure if they will usually go as far as an endoscopy, but they definitely have on occassion. In hunting you often get "dressed weight" which is more just the weight of the carcass with the entrails removed (stomach contents and all). That's more relevant to meat markets though, for getting scientific data on animal populations they'd more just weigh them and figure out if they have much in their stomachs. Predators are either empty or engorged most of the time, so it's not that hard to differentiate. They don't "snack".
