You actually need healthy fats to gain muscle, I require 44g a day. Before I knew this I used to focus only on protein and carbs and wondered why I wasn’t gaining as much as I should be.

It is very easy to increase fat intake. I get it mostly from olive oil and peanut butter. A serving of each is 14g.




Makes sense. Cholesterol is a necessary component of testosterone, and cannot be synthesized without it.
