Here is another little question for ya fellas: I was wondering whether or not to use MCT oil (medium chain triglycerides) as part of my bulking diet instead of stuffing my face with potatoes, rice and pasta - I am not able to eat a proper meal 6 or 7 times /day like most of you recomend... have any of you ever used MCTs as a significant part of your food intake?     | ||

I'd forget about MCTs. You'd do better using flax and olive oil. MCTs are expensive and they tend to make one ill. Eating more fat is a good way to get more calories. I'd suggest a 40%carb, 30%pro, 30%fat as a good starting point. | ||

I've found MCT to be good to use when you are seriously depleting carbs for a show or shoot as an energy source. You get really waery when you cut carbs and the MCT actually gives you a boost. I would not use it as part of any regular diet plus it tastes like shit. |
