The magic of MCT'S

People are constantly stuck between the struggle to stay lean and build muscle. There are very few things that you can use in your arsenal to accomplish this feat of balance. If you eat too many calories from most sources of food you will store the excess as fat because that is what the body is designed to do. However if you eat too few calories you look like a skinny little weakling and feel like one to. So what am I getting at? This is where M.C.T's come into the picture. Medium chain triglycerides are a source of calories that can be used for fuel but cannot be stored as fat. So what that means to you and me is that you can use them to gain extra calories to maintain muscle mass without affecting your body fat percentage. The main source of M.C.T's are from coconuts. This is a calorie packed super food that can help you maintain and gain mass without sacrificing the lean look so much. You can also find M.C.T's in oil form at some nutrition centers and retailers. My suggestion to you is to either incorporate the oil somewhere in your supplement regiment. What I do is add coconut extract to my morning and post training shakes to get benefit from the free calories. What ever you decide to do I definitely suggest you ad this to you regiment.
