It also provides important micronutrients like iron (useful for making red blood cells), vitamin A, and choline. In your serving (100g), it has moderate calories and some carbohydrates, but the bigger things to watch are cholesterol (165 mg) and sodium (47 mg). Since liver is also high in certain vitamins, it\u2019s best to enjoy it in the right frequency so you get benefits without overdoing specific nutrients.","healthier_tips":["Keep portions around 1\/2 to 1 cup cooked (or about 50\u2013100g) per meal, especially if you eat liver more than once a week.","Pair with lots of non-starchy vegetables (e.g., kangkong, pechay, squash, sayote) and a reasonable amount of rice to balance your plate.","For snacks between meals, choose lighter options (fruit, yogurt, nuts in small portions) so your daily intake stays balanced.","If you have high cholesterol or heart-related concerns, consider eating liver less often and focus on other proteins like fish, chicken, eggs, tofu, or beans.","Since it\u2019s boiled, you can keep it healthier by avoiding heavy salty sauces; use herbs, calamansi, and a bit of soy sauce instead of lots of added salt."]},"data_quality":{"source":"DOST-FNRI Philippine Food Composition Tables","source_code":"ph_fct","daily_values_reference":"RENI 2002","notes":["Values are estimates per 100g edible portion.","Actual nutrients may vary by preparation and variety."]},"links":{"self":"https:\/\/api.juanutrisyon.info\/api\/foods\/pork-liver-boiled?agent=true"}}}
