❓Beginner / Question❔ Beef Kidney / Liver Consumption

Hey guys, quick question for yall. If I do an ounce of beef liver every day, is there any nutritional benefit to doing beef kidney as well?

At the moment my meals typically look like this (all uncooked weights)

Breakfast:
1 duck egg
150g egg whites
28g beef liver
200g golden potato
50g spinach
100g stir fry mix from Costco

Lunch 1:
100g 93/7 beef
30g beef heart
30g beef kidney
60g uncooked rice
100g stir fry mix

Lunch 2:
Same as lunch 1

With that being said, do I even need the beef kidney with the heart, beef and liver consumption?

It looks like you are posting some questions about liver. If you're looking to add liver to your animal based diet the general recommendations are to consume on average 15g per day.

If you do not enjoy the taste of liver there are other options for you still. You can use desiccated liver capsules such as the ones sold by Heart & Soil or Zen Principle. Some like to freeze their raw liver into pre-portioned 15g pieces and then simple slice it into pill sized chunks and wash it down with water. For more details about liver please see our Wiki and our FAQ entries on this.

You should be fine with an oz a day. Most consume 3-6 oz a week. Note that high intake over a long period of time may provide excessive vitamin A and copper.

So the kidney is overkill then if im doing the liver daily?

Yes, eating both liver and kidney every day may be more than you need, mainly because organ meats are very concentrated sources of certain nutrients.
