Hey all, just hoping for some comments on this.

I got a package of liver sausage in my fridge. It's high-protein, low-carb, but high-fat. What should I make of it?

I'm thinking about adding a little bit of it in my diet (like one slice in one or two of the daily meals) for the high protein value, but I'm unsure due to the high level of fat (since going on a fat loss diet).

Here are the exact values:

100g (3.5oz) of that sausage contains:

Energy: 225kcal
Protein: 11g (0.39oz)
Carbs: 2g (0.07oz)
Fats: 19g (0.67oz, of which 7g or 0.25oz saturated fats)

The slices would probably be around 10g each so 1/10th of the abovementioned values.

Anyone?

IMO that's not high protein at all, or at least not when you consider how much fat you would be eating to get a decent amount of protein.

You are better off looking to get your protein from lean sources.

Alright, that was fast. I'm still quite a newbie in paying attention to nutritional values so I wasn't sure.

Thank you for the comment. :)

No worries :tu:

The best sources of lean protein tend to be egg whites (although a few whole eggs a day won't hurt you either), white meat (chicken & turkey breast), tuna, shrimp etc. If you want to incorporate some fat as well as protein, fish and lean steak are a better alternative to sausage IMO. :)

Yeah, that doesn't strike me as particularly healthy, although liver is most definitely a great source of protein as well as B-vitamins and highly bioavailable iron.

It's a nice treat (love liver sausage topped with mustard) and a great pate but it's not all the time. High amounts of the wrong fats and fairly processed.
