I'd suggest taking in even as little as 3gms of MCT with the Humapro at 8am. My idea is that the body will burn the MCTs rather than using the Humapro for fuel. The coconut milk was a tip from Author L Rea, but I use 5gms coconut oil or MCTs. By using Humapro instead of whey I've been able to eat more carbs, which is always good.
