Guest guest Posted September 18, 2004 Report Share Posted September 18, 2004 I,m new to the group. My granddaughter started the diet on Sept. 13. She is gfcf so we are using oils, MCT, safflower, coconut oil. I have a meal planner but it just has MCT not the other two. I 'm drawing a blank as to how to figure these 2 out to put in the planner. Is anyone using oils? I need to check the menues from the hospital. Thanks for any info. Georgia, 's grandma Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 18, 2004 Report Share Posted September 18, 2004 Not all oils are created equal. If you look in Dr. Freeman's book, pg. 217, the oils are listed there. For the ones not listed, we use the USDA information. For safflower oil, it has 884 calories so that is 98.2 gm of fat per 100 grams. For coconut oil, it has 862 calories so that is 95.8 gm of fat per 100 grams. Both of these are fairly easy to digest as far as I know. Certainly the safflower is. It is used in many commercial mixtures. I think that the coconut is not as healthy in terms of saturated, unsaturated, but I am not totally sure about that. What is the value that you have for MCT? Is it 92.7? Bill Guserbean@... wrote: > I,m new to the group. My granddaughter started the diet on Sept. 13. She is gfcf so we are using oils, MCT, safflower, coconut oil.
