About Muscle meat

Muscle meat refers to the flesh of animals taken from areas of the body used for movement, such as the legs, shoulders, and thighs. Common sources include beef, chicken, pork, fish, and lamb, making muscle meat a versatile ingredient featured across global cuisines—from roasted beef in Western traditions to stir-fried chicken in Asian dishes. Rich in high-quality protein, vitamins, and minerals like iron and zinc, muscle meat supports muscle growth, tissue repair, and overall health. It’s particularly valued for enhancing strength and promoting satiety. However, cooking methods and fat content can impact its healthfulness; grilled or baked lean cuts are preferable to deeply fried or highly processed versions, which may contain excess saturated fats and calories. Moderation and balance are key, ensuring the benefits of muscle meat align with a well-rounded diet.
