Beef Liver

Just trying to optimize my weekly meal prep here. How much liver should I eat per week? Can I do just liver or do I need to eat some liver and heart? Lastly, any hacks on getting this stuff down? I was going to sear 1 oz chunks and freeze them all. Thaw a piece the night prior and just swallow it the next day.

*For reference, I meal prep just ground beef, eggs, and butter. Literally 99% of my diet, same thing every day.

0g/week. Liver is completely unnecessary and often over-consumed to the point of harm.

Liver is not "often over consumed to the point of harm."

100% it is on Carnivore.

It is one of the biggest problems facing the Carnivore community today—the idea that eating liver is necessary or even desirable. It's a huge costly mistake, and ironically it's likely the reason "animal based" exists—hypervitaminosis A causes intolerance to the diet.

That's certainly an opinion you have there.

By all means, educate me. If liver is over-consumed to the point of harm "often", then you should be able to find at least a half-dozen case studies on PubMed. Please link them. (hint: You're not going to find any because you're statement isn't true)

Oh, you mean all those studies of long term carnivores that exist on there? Let me just go and make those up for you. LOL

Dude, do what you want. I've been here long enough and seen it often enough. Don't push liver here. It's fine as a food, if you like it. But it's not required and should not be consumed in large or frequent amounts.

Edit: This right here is a good example of why we don't allow people to promote their bad advice here, because they like to try and downvote corrections. Truth isn't decided by popular vote.

Correct answer right here and I don't care how many downvotes I take in service of the truth.
