I tried coconut oil back in the day. I switched to heavy cream. While it has the calories and everything. It can still be tough to digest. I thought to try it as I am a bit lactose intolerant. Only to find out that heavy cream has barely any lactose at all. I also am not a fan of the flavor of coconut. If you can use it in cooking or take smaller amounts throughout the day that should make it easier to digest. Best of luck!

Personally I like it spread on toast (especially on challah - I can eat a million slices 🤤) and in cooking. Never tried it beyond that 🤷🏻 How were you planning on using it?

I used to make bulletproof coffee with it, that was the only way I used it as food aside from very occasionally cooking or baking with it.

I made my bulletproof coffee with just 1 tbsp each of the oil and butter (not salted!) but was divine. If you want a drinkable fat bomb, bulletproof is the way to go lol.

I second the bulletproof coffee. I started that with virgin coconut oil and ghee for health reasons before I planned to gain. I had way more energy in the mornings which lasted longer than the usual cuppa does, but the problem was (for me back then), I gained weight. Stuck with it anyway.

So when planning to gain, it's a win-win. Now that I am trying to gain, I use butter instead of ghee, preferably grass-fed unsalted. I also add a good dose of heavy cream.

I tried eating it straight from the jar. It tastes alright bit the texture is just 🤢 Definitely better melted into a coffee or something so you don't feel the grease chunks going down your throat. Unless you're into that lmao
