What is this food?
Chevon liver (goat liver). It’s an organ meat that’s used as a protein-rich viand, usually cooked with garlic, onions, and spices.
Why it matters to health
Chevon liver is a good source of protein for building and repairing body tissues. In 100g, it has about 129 kcal and provides 3.4g fat and 2.6g carbohydrates, with 72mg sodium. Liver also helps you meet micronutrient needs (like iron and vitamin A), but because it’s nutrient-dense, it’s best to keep portions reasonable and not make it a daily staple—especially if you’re also getting these nutrients from other foods or supplements.
Healthier tips
- Keep the portion to about 1/2 to 1 cup cooked per meal (or roughly 50–75g if you’re measuring).
- Pair it with non-starchy vegetables (e.g., pechay, kangkong, sayote, broccoli) and a carb you can control (1/2–1 cup rice or a small serving of bread).
- Go easy on salty sauces (soy sauce, patis, bagoong) to manage sodium.
- If you eat liver, rotate with other proteins (fish, chicken, eggs, tofu) so your plate stays balanced across the week.
- For your daily pattern: aim for 3 full meals plus 1–2 snacks; use liver as part of a main meal, not as a frequent snack.
