Hi, Since coconut flesh is high both in calories and saturated fat, so it's advised to eat it in moderation to be on the safe side.

Healthy evening sir, Although coconut meat provides highly valuable nutrients, the food contains moderation amount of saturated fats, so it’s best to enjoy it in moderation. Eating coconut meat regularly can improve heart health, regulate blood sugar levels, and promote digestion.
