I'm so sick of chicken breasts day in and day out. I prefer chicken thighs, but i read somewhere that the fat content is higher compared to the former. Does the fit your macro rule apply here?

The fit your macro rule applies everywhere.

Of course it does. If you can afford the extra calories from the added fat content of dark meat vs. white meat, then use the cheaper dark meat. Now if you are eating massive amounts, and on a strict cut, then you may not be able to fit them in too easily.
no, the fits into ur macros rule only applies to crumpets and crackers.

ok but my cousin's barber's drug dealer heard from a ripped guy in an alley that dark meat is shuttled directly into fat cells. so who is right here?

You forgot about cancer.
Fat content is higher with the thigh and all darker meats. I do prefer this from time to time as it has a different taste, I particularly like Turkey thigh.
In moderation it should not be too dramatic but to keep your macros in check, use something like this to check out your thigh - [url]http://caloriecount.about.com/calories-chicken-thigh-meat-only-i5097[/url]
I go through a bag of leg quarters a week.
Freaking. Delicious.
But yes, IIFYM applies to everything and everyone.
No food is safe.

Fail.
I fit them into my calories because of the price. Totally worth it to keep yourself from getting sick of chicken breasts.

Ding. Ding. I cycle fats/carbs per Martin's recommendation, so drumsticks are a staple on non-training days. I usually eat 10 of them (only 1000 calories).
Just try and ask for "only white meat" if you ever go to the Renaissance Fair... Those guys don't give a sh!t about macros! You will have to joust your way out of there!...
... I'm just saying.
