Bulletproof Coffee and Your Fitness Goals

Get Your Coffee ASAP

If you are anything like us, coffee is an integral part of your morning routine. There is nothing more satisfying than waking up to a fresh brewed cup of coffee in the early hours or popping into your favorite coffee house before the demands of daily life take over. Aside from taking advantage of the comfort you gain from your perfect blend, your morning coffee routine has the potential to benefit you even further if you are willing to make a few tweaks. Bulletproof Coffee is more than just a great tasting trendy coffee beverage; it can actually promote healthy habits and boost your fitness routine! 

What is Bulletproof Coffee?

When you hear the phrase “Bulletproof Coffee” it might sound like the brand of a coffee or coffeehouse chain, but it’s actually a recipe that you can order at most coffee shops. You can even make it at home with an extra trip to the store. It only has 3 ingredients; 1 cup coffee, 1-2 tbsp. MCT Oil (medium-chain triglycerides), 1-2 tbsp. grass fed unsalted butter. Simply blend these 3 together on high for about 20 seconds for a frothy consistency, and your bulletproof coffee is ready!

What is MCT, and How Does it Benefit Me?

Medium-chain triglycerides, or the MCT oil that you add in, is a specific type of saturated fat. Most saturated fats that you consume in a normal diet are different from MCT in the sense that those long-chain triglycerides have to go through a series of chemical reactions in your body to be processed for energy. The beauty of MCT oil is that this fat is simplified and pre-broken down so that your body can benefit from it as an energy resource. Some of the positive effects your body experiences is a boost in your metabolism, curbing hunger, gut health, better physical and mental endurance, and an increase in heart health. 

How Can Bulletproof Coffee Benefit my Fitness Goals?

When consumed properly, Bulletproof Coffee can have a very positive affect on your health and help you reach your fitness goals. That’s because both the MCT oil and the grass fed butter work together to jumpstart your metabolism while giving your body the caloric boost that it needs as well. It’s important to keep in mind a few things to gain the most from your Bulletproof Coffee.

For starters, be aware of the amount of calories in one serving. If you use 2 tablespoons of the MCT oil and the grass fed butter, your beverage will come out to about 440 calories. If this is consumed alongside a normal breakfast, you will likely blow past your calorie allotment for the day and put you into a surplus, causing you to actually gain weight depending on how aggressive your workout regimen is. However, if you use your Bulletproof coffee as a meal replacement in the morning, then you will likely see all of the energy and metabolism boosts that can contribute to weight loss.

You should also consider the fat content and other macros that you need throughout the day for a healthy, balanced diet. One serving of Bulletproof Coffee is about 50 grams of fat and 1 gram of protein, so you would want to be sure you are consuming the right amount of proteins, fats, and carbs for the rest of the day to meet your body’s needs and your personal health and fitness goals!

Bulletproof, Health
