Wow (in response to the answers).
The answer in a nuttshell: in order to achieve the highest possible free testosterone level from your diet you need eat a large amount of animal based saturated fat. Studies have shown that anything less than 25% of your calories coming from fat will reduce the production of testosterone within 2 hours of eating such a meal. Going as high as 40% has been shown to show further increases in testoterone production and lowering of shbg levels. You also need to get a large amount of POLYunsaturated (not mono) fats in the form of n-3 and n-6 fats in order to properly process the cholesterol present in the higher saturated fat meals into the proper precursors for testosterone production. This will also tend to offset the negative effects of elevated cholesterol intake, by allowing the body to untilize it for a productive purpose. By focusing on additional n-3 fats, you should also see a increase in AR senstivity, allowing better utilization of the testosterone you are producing.

You're welcome Mr. Black. It would have been a better answer without all of the typos I have it in. LoL

Any meat will do, as well as dairy products and eggs for saturated fat. For n-3 fats flax seed oil is your best choice. Cold water fish (salmon being your best choice, if its fresh catch, not farmed) and walnutts are good choices as well. n-6 fats, you are probably eating more than you need without even knowing it.
