What does your morning coffee consist of?

[Luis S.]

What does your morning coffee consist of? Mine is a cup of coffee with 2 tbs unsalted butter, 1tbs coconut oil, 1tbs HWC, and 1/2 cup of unsweetened almond milk and 5 packs of splenda. Totals are 7g carbs and about 37g fats.

My only concern is i may be having too much fat at once and that might be stopping my fat burning? Any one got any insight on this?

That sounds like an awful lot. I would maybe multiply what you have there by 0.25.

Yeah i was thinking of reducing some of the far.

Thats around 30g of fat right?

35 according to my calc

[cheesemuffler]

I have a couple of cups of coffee a morning, each with 20g of double cream (which gives just under 10g fat per coffee).

My (completely unsubstantiated and grossly over-simplified) reasoning is as follows:

* if my BMR is approx 2200kcal per day, then in an average hour my body uses 90 odd calories (2200kcal/24h)
* in all likelihood a 'waking' hour probably uses more than that (more activity than when asleep)
* 10g fat is roughly 90kcal
* consuming the fat maintains/primes my body to prioritise fat metabolism (my body needs energy, fat's around = use it)
* at most I'm causing my body to reduce the amount of body fat it's burning (because it's burning the ingested fat) for 1 hour per coffee
* so assuming a 7am wake-up and a 1pm lunch that's 2 hours reduced body-fat burning and 4 hours 'primed' body-fat burning until lunch
* net effect = more body fat burnt, lower likelihood of muscle catabolism (to utilise the protein for energy needs)


In an ideal world I would be using coconut oil rather than double cream for the insta-available MCTs that it contains.

your initial assumption of BMR I think is kind of irrelevant for our purposes.  Your weight and lean tissue amount are probably more important for how much of what you should have in the morning.

2 tbsps unsalted grass-fed butter. Out of coconut oil ATM

In my opinion, the butter gives it a creamier taste than the cream. Tastes really good.

[zewski]

especially if you blend it. Gets an awesome head of foam.

Just make sure you use UNSALTED butter. Only make that mistake once haha.

Just plain coffee with coconut oil.

[ibobland08]

Tried the butter in coffee, its ok but I still prefer cream.  You get a homogenous mixture with cream, with butter all the oil floats to top.

I put my in a magic bullet type things with coco oil/butter/splenda. It is pretty good. It mixes well and stays that way. Frothy goodness.
