MCT OIL

• Andy was used to cooking with only butter and olive oil
  • Vinnie, however, often uses coconut oil from Trader Joes
  • Coconut Oil = MCT Oil
• Vinnie cooks with this 70% of the time
  • Medium chain triglycerides
    • It is energy currency more than just another sat fat (although MCT is a sat fat but has those medium chain triglycerides)
    • Great for fat-adapted folks 
• Butter is also good and will give you energy if you're fat-adapted
  • But, butter hardly has any Medium chain triglycerides in it
    • More long chain in general
• Your body would prefer to use MCT oil as energy as opposed to longer chain triglycerides
• MCT is essentially a "cleaner burning fuel" than butter
