Evidence-based food guidance for fatty liver disease · Based on AASLD 2023 Guidelines
Vegetarian Meatloaf or Patties belongs to the Legumes and Legume Products group in the USDA FoodData Central database. Per 100 grams, it provides 197.0 kcal, 21.0g protein, 8.0g carbohydrate, and 9.0g fat — of which 1.43g is saturated (15.9% of total fat).
Its processing is minimal, which puts it near the whole-food end of what the Mediterranean pattern prefers. The 4.6g of fiber per 100g is another data point worth weighing, since fiber supports the metabolic response the liver depends on. The sodium content is 550.0mg per 100g, fairly high, which argues for pairing it with lighter-sodium foods. The standard preparation in the data is Boiled, which affects the fat profile that actually gets eaten. All of these figures come from the USDA database this site is built around, scored with the same AASLD 2023 rules used everywhere here.
With its Recommended rating, Vegetarian Meatloaf or Patties fits easily into a Mediterranean-style week, the pattern the AASLD highlights for MASLD.
