Pre-workout meal?

[njmuscleguy]

In a nut shell MCT (Medium-Chain Triglycerides) are 8-carbon length caprylic acid and 10-carbon length capric acid. It should be consumed at around a ratio of 67% 8-carbon and 33% 10-carbon. Almost all MCT that you consume will be used quickly for energy. It works like carbs but its actually fat. Hence it would be great for pre-workout meals while on a ketogenic diet. I don't know why I didn't think of it.

As always thanks for the suggestion X.

one word of caution, it should not be used by anyone with high cholesterol, diabetes, or gastrointestinal problems

Flax oil before a workout? Fat consumption will slow food absorption, and before a workout, you want all of that food to go right to the muscles for energy without slowing down. You're golden with the oatmeal and whey though!
