 Sports an extremely muscular arse. Member 38, 6253 posts | Fatty cuts of meat are my preferred for cooking with. Pork shoulder, belly, Lamb neck and fattier cuts of beef, brisket are excellent. Fatty cuts are just that much easier to cook with. | ||

I already eat a lot of mackerel and was looking into rump steak for convenience but it hasn’t got enough fat and I need 160-180g of fat a day. same with pork chops. I will look into the options mentioned as iv never heard of half of them. cheers | ||

 hermit Member 3904, 988 posts | Mince is probably the cheapest fatty cut of meat  If you have a look round some of the independent asian butchers, you can usually get mutton mince for as little as £4/kg it is very fatty, when I cook with it I never add oil and still its swimming in grease. But I like that. T Supermarket mince, especially the cheaper kind is sort of mystery meat that comes from far away. Usually Ireland. The local butchers get all there stuff from shropshire or wales. This mince is usually made by shaving meat of the ribs, the greasiest part of a sheep. In general mutton is a lot fattier that beef, and in my opinion tastes a lot better. But it is not particularly cheap when compared to the big economy pieces of beef you get. Loads cheaper than lamb though. Have you tried hearts? Lamb hearts are around £2/kg and cook quickly. Beef hearts are much larger and tougher, and have lots of fat stuck to them. Cant remember how much they are but they are both cheap and nice if you cook them right. | ||

Member 3754, 220 posts SQ 260, BP 190, DL 300750.0 kgs @ 112kgs UnEq | I will ask around at differnt butchers and see what i can get my hands on. the mutton mince sound like a good idea tho with beef mince i tend to just add eggs and make 4 large meatballs per 500g in the oven can do 4 days worth fairly hassle free | ||

Member 4030, 116 posts SQ 240, BP 180, DL 320740.0 kgs @ 93kgs UnEq | Does it have to be meat? Peanut butter is full of healthy fat and protein. I blend 100g of it in some fresh orange and have it as a drink. | ||
