Fueling with Fat versus Carbs for Cycling

Recently I have been experimenting with fueling more with fat versus carbs. I have noticed some significant benefits which I share in this video. My preferred morning meal is something a long the lines of bullet proof coffee (I mix in a blender my espresso coffee with 2 tablespoons of MCT oil and 1 tablespoon of organic, unsalted butter). This holds me over until about noon. This includes times when I ride 40-60 miles in the morning. I find the fat gives me so much more sustained energy. If I do a more intense group ride I may add a little sugar via a high quality sports drink in my drinking bottle. I share more in this video.

I would love to hear your feedback on using fat as energy. Please leave a comment below and please share this video if you find it of value.
