Lamb Liver (Cooked) - How Many Calories?

Calculating calories in cooked sheep liver

The reference used here is pan-fried lamb liver, providing 238 kcal per 100 grams of cooked edible food. It is not a new measurement of adult sheep liver. Animal age, cooking method and added fat can make your dish differ from this reference.

Weigh it before or after cooking?

These weights refer to cooked liver. An 85 g amount supplies 202 kcal and 21.7 g protein; 50 g supplies 119 kcal. A slice has no fixed weight. Do not enter a raw weight into the cooked calculation because cooking changes water content. Flour-coated liver or a mixed sauté with vegetables and oil is not an exact match. The raw-versus-cooked weight explanation for beef liver describes the calculation method; its figures do not apply to sheep or lamb liver.

Iron, protein and vitamin A

The 100 g reference has 25.53 g protein and 10.2 mg iron. Vitamin A is 7782 µg RAE, a unit that is not interchangeable with IU. The 85 g example contains 8.67 mg iron. Eating an iron-containing food is not a substitute for identifying and treating the cause of anaemia.

Can you eat liver during pregnancy?

Avoid liver and liver products during pregnancy because of their high vitamin A content. Cooking does not remove this concern. For other adults, 85 g is a calculation example, not advice to eat that amount daily or weekly. Cook liver thoroughly; a nutrition reference and a safe-consumption recommendation are separate matters.
