Recipes: 0 Rep Power: 4  |  Healthy fat? Looking for some feedback on the use of coconut oil as a source of healthy fat or MCTs. It seems like it would be a good option and could give my rice a pleasant change of flavor. Are there any negatives to using coconut oil for bodybuilding purposes?

So in conclusion, as Sixpack stated, it is definately a good choice as long as you keep other EFAs in your diet. It is also, like you stated, good for cooking. Get the B rice tastin good.
