Including saturated fat from sources like red meat, eggs, or butter in the daily diet is beneficial for skin health, well-being, and blood profiles, especially when training intensely.

“I've always tried to get a little bit of saturated fat in my daily diet, either through red meat, or through eggs, or through a tablespoon or two maybe of butter, depending on how hard I'm training, and what my caloric needs are. So, I don't like to drop my saturated fat to zero, because I find that my skin gets dry, I don't feel as well, and my blood profiles actually suffer a little bit.”
