Higher Fat Protein Sources for strength and adding muscle Simple, isn’t it? All you do is take whatever animal protein you’re consuming, say chicken breasts for example, and switch it out with a higher fat cut of meat, such as chicken thighs. What are the advantages to this? The fattier cuts of red meat and chicken meat are often cheaper and more affordable than the leaner cuts. The increased fat intake (keeping it within reason) can have a positive effect on testosterone levels as well as on hair, skin, and nail health. Satiety often increases with meals as well as flavor. Food volume can remain relatively the same (8 ounces of 85/15 beef versus 8 ounces of flank, but the calories are now increased by 20–30%). Lean protein is notorious for being dry and tough to eat. On the other hand, fatty protein tastes far better, is more tender, and doesn’t need to be seasoned as much to be made edible.
