Hi /fitI recently discovered that beef liver is a) yummy (to me, anyway), b) incredibly cheap, c) easy to cookI would like to know if it's a good idea to eat liver once or twice a week. I suppose it's a good source of protein and everything, but the fact that it's dirt cheap makes me wonder if there isn't some sort of dark side to it.So, /fit, is liver a good food choice? Good source of protein when trying to lose weight and gain some muscle at the gym (more the former than the latter, btw)?Thanks in advance.
Cons:Pretty fatty stuffy.Loaded with calories and cholesterol.Pros:Mega shit ton of Vitamin A and Protein.

ive been wanting to try some liver myself. how do you cook it op?
High in cholesterol
>>115476Can a smart anon pls explain the alleged relationship between liver and gout? is this a real cause for worry?
>>115515http://www.podiatrychannel.com/gout/index.shtml>Causes and Risk Factors>High dietary intake of rich foods that contain purine (e.g., cream sauces, red meat, sardines, liver, scallops)
OP, how do you cook/prepare it?
>>115517But no one goes around telling people not to eat red meat to prevent gout. How is liver worse than red meat as regards gout?How often is it safe to eat liver?
i cook liver (beef and chicken) occasionally.just salt, black pepper, herbs and fry it in olive oil
>>115519OP here. Not a sophisticated cook, I'm afraid.What i do is: saucepan + liver + some salt and ground garlic + 1 chopped onion + fire + 15-25 min = tasty meal (sometimes I don't even bother with the onion and just cut up a tomato or something).Sorry I can't offer a decent recipe or anything like that. But google can probably point you in the direction of people who know about that sort of thing. All I can say is liver tastes great and you should try it.Here's a link to a recipe:http://www.elise.com/recipes/archives/001781liver_and_onions.php
