Beef Liver: Protein, Calories & Full Nutrition Breakdown

Why Beef Liver shows up in protein-forward diets

Organ meat resurgence content (liver capsules, 'ancestral eating') is really about the micronutrients, not the protein — liver's protein number is unremarkable, its vitamin A, B12, and copper content is what's extreme.

Serving-size math

A 100g cooked portion delivers 26.3g of protein and roughly 175 calories. Scaled per 100 calories, that works out to 15.03g of protein — useful for comparing against other foods on a calorie-matched basis rather than a weight-matched one.

Prep tip

Soak in milk for 30 minutes before cooking to pull out some of the mineral-heavy flavor if you're new to it.
