I normally fry eggs and other things in butter. This morning, I had a little leftover piece of beef I cut up to make a beef and cheese omelette. It wasn’t the best cut of beef, kinda lean and i wanted to “fat” it up so I put some coconut oil in the pan.
Not sure if I would do it again as butter gives a better taste.
Do others fry i coconut oil?
Addendum: Constipation issue is “behind” me but never did get an answer as to how much (grams) of fiber (soluble) would be appropriate per day.
Yes, I fry with coconut oil especially when making curries. My oil has more of a cocnut taste than others. Some are very refined so depending on which you have, it can vary.
I use coconut oil for eggs sometimes, though prefer grass-fed butter. I use coconut oil for popcorn…
I like Coconut for curries and (yum) coconut shrimp. Butter for eggs and fried cabbage. Olive oil and avocado to “finish” and dress vegies and salads.
I only use it when making curries as i find it overpowers most things.
Use coconut for chicken, if you dust the chicken pieces in coconut flour as well, you get a very nicely fried chicken. You can also just put the flour and oil in the oven, it browns up well that way too.
Butter for everything. I like coconut but can’t stand the taste of coconut oil for some reason.
Avocado oil has a much higher smoke point than coconut oil, and is taste neutral. But my favorite is still butter.
Seems like there is a theme here - I too only use it in strongly favoured dishes such as curries. For eggs and delicately flavoured items, always butter!
I use coconut oil but hate the taste of coconut on my foods so I have to use the refined coconut oil it has no taste. When I make popcorn I also use butter flavored coconut oil for popping. I guess you can use that to fry eggs no coconut taste too.
My kids eat popcorn, it’s their snack after school and a major vessel for them to get added fats, they use loads of butter… They are young and not really insulin resistant…
Because different people have different carb tolerances. There are many folks who can maintain a state of ketosis while eating 50-100g of carbs.
You know when I eat popcorn I eat around 3 cups and and put tons of butter on it, it takes me around the next day to get back in ketosis again. I make sure that I am extremely careful to eat no carbs before and after my treat. It seems to work for me but I only do it once in a great while. Sweet potato seems to kick me out of keto faster and longer.
