Did you know the milk of a coconut is good for bulking whereas the oil is good for cutting. Coconut oil is mainly composed of MCT (medium chain triglycerides) which are great energy sources. They provide energy like complex carbohydrates:

Medium chain triglycerides are actually not carbohydrates. Rather, MCTs are important fatty acids that provide energy exactly like carbohydrates. Also known as caprylic and capric acids, MCTs function differently from conventional fats. That means that less fat is absorbed in the body. In intense exercise, MCTs prevent the breakdown of the muscle tissue, since they produce the so-called ketones, which are used directly by the muscle to produce energy and reduce muscle loss. Conventional fats do not produce many ketones. In addition, the MCTs are quickly absorbed and circulate in the bloodstream, and they do not produce fatigue as is common with the consumption of simple sugars.

HOWEVER, the milk is amazing for bulking, but why is that? I haven't researched intensively into this, but many body builders used coconut milk for bulking. May someone explain this "strangeness'?

This thread is all about coconuts. It is a serious business. No trolling. Coconut.

They are powerful though.

I won't deny that, but if I can't keep them down, they don't serve much of a purpose to me.
