Weren't the Inuits or some other population preferring the fatty sides of the animal and throwing the muscle to their dogs? I heard that about them somewhere.

  Muscle tissue is very protein rich, but is of very low protein and micronutrient density. Humans need a certain amount of protein per day, and it's very easy to get that from any animal tissue. The hard part is getting micronutrients and calories. Well, fats are calory dense, and organ tissue is micronutrient dense. I don't think not eating muscle tissue makes any sense in modern day. Nobody will just eat whale organ tissue any more, realistically. I mean, if you really do eat it, it might work, but will you really do that? You need those lean proteins from animals and you'll hopefully supplement fats, vitamins and minerals from other sources. Animals muscle is very Omega 6 rich, so ideally you wanna eat lean proteins (chicken, turkey breast, lean red meat...) and supplement your diet with Omega 3 sources like salmon, acai berry, walnut, flaxseed etc...
