MCT oil powder delivers 650 kcal per 100 g with 60 g fat. Medium-chain triglycerides bypass normal fat digestion and go directly to the liver for energy. The powder form mixes better than liquid MCT but typically includes 25 g carbs from the carrier agent.
How should I track MCT oil powder?
MCT oil powder is a good source of fiber. Supplement tracking comes down to two things: measuring the supplement itself and logging everything around it. For powders like MCT oil powder, a kitchen scale beats a scoop — scoops typically deliver 10–20% more than the stated serving (Almiron-Roig et al., Appetite 2013, found portion errors of 50–200% for dense foods). For capsules and tablets, count-based tracking is simpler but still matters at multiple daily doses. The real tracking trap is what you mix supplements with — milk, fruit, or nut butter can turn a 30-calorie serving into a 400-calorie shake. Log each ingredient separately for an accurate total.
