it has come to my attention that I seem to be eating coconut daily and it takes up a fair few of my calories. I am compensating for this by going for a run but really is the fat content in coconut too high etc?

    Too high for what? is the question. Coconut's fat content is indeed extremely high, one of the highest, but it will be of no harm to you (a) if you're in ketosis (meaning low carb and have been on less than approx. 20g/carbs daily for a few days) or (b) can otherwise burn it off somehow. If you can't, coconut oil will make anybody fat, and quickly, which is exactly what doctors use it for.

    [full disclosure: 75% of my current diet is saturated fat, comprised mostly of coconut oil and/or milk. Since 5% of what I eat at present is carb, I have little to no insulin response and I'm losing weight.]
