So, I'm still trying to find a way to incorporate more organ meats into my diet, but for various reasons I'm limited. I just started taking APE Nutrition beef organ capsules, to bridge the time until I figure out a more economic way that is easy to do for me within the confines of my current living situation and daily routine (I'm neurodivergent so it has to be stupidly simple and fit into my routine well enough for me to stick with it).
I have ordered a pack of organic chicken livers from Abel & Cole, a) because beef liver is always, always sold out and b) I think it would require less hassle to just take out one chicken liver and throw it in the pan with my fried egg for breakfast each morning. Plus I think I prefer the taste, and the ones from A & C look and sound like I could take them straight from the pack without needing to trim and do all sorts of things to it before I can fry it.
Question: would one chicken liver a day be too much? I would drink coffee with it so not worried about iron overload (except that I am currently suffering with a fibroid which is causing heavy periods and spotting between periods leading to symptoms of anaemia so maybe I shouldn't try and block the iron, I still don't know).
Is there any particular benefit of eating small amounts every day vs a larger amount once a week?
And once I start eating a small amount of liver each day or one larger amount once a week, should I stop taking the capsules and just keep them as a backup for days when I can't be bothered to cook the liver or run out?
Apologies if my questions seem dumb or have already been discussed to death elsewhere (I'm sure they have) but I feel like I have research burnout and my ADHD makes me go around in circles.
Thanks in advance for your help!
