Coconut meat is high in medium-chain triglycerides (MCTs), a type of fat that your body can easily absorb and use for energy. MCTs may also boost metabolism and promote feelings of satiety.

The fiber content in coconut flesh can help regulate digestion and keep things moving smoothly.

Coconuts are relatively low in carbs and may help with blood sugar management due to the fiber content. More research is ongoing, but some studies suggest promise in this area.
