coconut oil

that reminds me - i've had coconut oil. have some in the fridge right now. but has anyone had coconut butter? i really wanna try it. the wf near me doesn't carry it. worth going farther away? do you just use it instead of nut butter or in some other way?

I order my coconut oil from vitacost. It's already kind of like butter. I have to melt it to put in my shakes. I've used it on oatmeal and pancakes.

Used to use coconut butter for a lot of raw food recipes. Can make a very tasty chocolate coconut butter by combining with raw cacao. Tastes so good!

Love seeing what other people eat so I can get ideas. For me a typical day looks like

breakfast: 2 eggs + 1 packet instant oatmeal w/ honey
lunch: homemade black bean soup + roasted veggies + avocado; or, leftovers from dinner last night
snack: f-a-g-e greek yogurt + apple
dinner: chicken dish + roasted veggies

A couple regular chicken recipes I use are:

my meal plan is pretty flexible, I use portions and can change up my choices whenever i want. this is my off-season plan:

6 meals/day spaced however I want, this is just how I prefer to do it, not because I think its better to do...
4-5 oz protein with each meal
2x 1/4c servings of starch, 2 x1/2 cup starch---meals 1-4
1-2 cups veggies x 4 (flexible if I want more)
2 pieces of fruit---meals 1-4
2 tablespoons of oil and 1 oz nuts or nut butter--one midday, meal 5 and 6

I use one of my fruits and 1/2c starches post workout and add veggies wherever I feel the need
