"MCT" turns up "Medium-Chain Triglycerids," a category of oils manufactured from palm and cocoanut oils. They are said to help with treating food absorption disorders. I wonder if it would help people with AMS after they lose their appetite.
I consume MCTs (usually in the form of coconut milk) during the low carb portion of my days. The theory is that consuming it encourages your body to use fat as a fuel source.
I've heard of marathon runners that don't want to consume carbs using MCT during a race, as well as runners not consuming anything during a marathon, but they're not going 12, 15, 20 hours without food.
