Dieters often give up fatty steaks and pork for leaner cuts of meat like chicken breast. But people on the ketogenic diet embrace a high-fat, low carb lifestyle, meaning those greasy eats are never off limits.

If you're new to keto—the popular eating plan beloved by guys like Jersey Shore's Vinny Guadagnino—the diet entails getting about 80 percent of your daily calories from fat, 20 percent from protein, and 10 percent from carbohydrates. This allows your body to burn fat for fuel: a process known as ketosis.

That's why keto die-hards are notorious for eating plenty of bacon and cheese. However, if you're tired of eating the same bunless cheeseburger every night, there are plenty of meat-based fat sources you likely haven't tried. Get creative and make one of these five fatty cuts of meat for dinner. Of course, it's best not to go overboard and eat these for every meal–most dietitians recommend getting healthy fats from plant-based sources like nuts and avocado.
