Dense protein is under-estimated. 50–200% error by eye (Almiron-Roig et al., Appetite 2013). Per 100 g: 196 kcal, 13.2 g protein, 15.5 g fat. Organ meats are nutrient-dense but rarely eaten in large portions — weigh what you consume.
How should I track Beef Brain, pan-fried?
Beef Brain, pan-fried is a good source of iron. The simplest way to track Beef Brain, pan-fried accurately is to weigh it raw, before cooking. According to USDA cooking yield data, meat loses 20–30% of its weight during cooking as moisture evaporates — so 150 g raw becomes roughly 105–120 g cooked. If you log the cooked weight using raw nutrition values, you will undercount your protein and calories. A kitchen scale takes the guesswork out of it. Quick tip: cook a batch, weigh it before and after, and you will know your personal shrink ratio for next time.
