I picked up a jar of Nutiva coconut oil, but can't find any dosing scheme for general daily supplementation. I have searched on here as well, but can't find anything. Any recommendations?

"There is no recommended daily allowance (RDA) for lauric acid, but as a guideline, Dr. Mary G. Enig suggests adults and growing children can benefit from an intake of 10 to 20 grams of lauric acid per day. It's interesting to note that nursing babies consume up to 1 gram of lauric acid per kilogram of body weight per day." There are 7g of lauric acid in a tablespoon of coconut oil.
If it's the MCTs you're after for energy, I'd say the more the better. I always use it in my morning coffee or a spoonful pre-workout.
I personally get about 2 tbsp/most days. Make sure to figure it into your macros.
