Beef liver Y/N? Anonymous
Hi /fit

I recently discovered that beef liver is a) yummy (to me, anyway), b) incredibly cheap, c) easy to cook

I 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.

But 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?

OP 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:
