Low Carb Chicken Gizzard Recipe (Diet)- You may shy away from eating chicken gizzards, thinking they're best left to make gravy for a roast chicken, but chicken gizzards are rich in nutrients, low in fat, and often a cheap source of protein.
The U.S. Department of Agriculture recommends that adults eat between 5 and 6 1/2 ounces of protein from the protein food group each day. Protein is essential for building, maintaining, and repairing all cells, and is especially important during periods of growth, including pregnancy.

Benefits of consuming chicken gizzards
Rich in iron
Iron can be found in every cell in your body. It’s needed to make blood cells and hemoglobin and myoglobin, two proteins that carry oxygen throughout your body. The Institute of Medicine recommends between 8 and 18 milligrams of iron per day for adult men and women.

A 4-ounce serving of chicken gizzards contains almost 3 milligrams of iron. This is more than 35% of the recommended amount for adult men and women over the age of 51, and is almost 16% of the recommended amount for women under the age of 51.
Niacin content
Also known as vitamin B-3, niacin helps the body produce a number of sex and stress hormones in the adrenal glands and aids in blood circulation. Niacin helps maintain healthy hair, skin, liver and eyes, and supports the immune system. The recommended daily allowance of niacin is 16 milligrams for adult men, 14 milligrams for adult women, 18 milligrams for pregnant women and 17 milligrams for breastfeeding women.
 A 4-ounce serving of gizzards has a little over 4 milligrams of niacin, which is between 23% and 30% of the RDA for adult men and women.

Riboflavin content
Riboflavin is also known as vitamin B-2 and, like niacin, helps maintain healthy skin, eyes, hair and liver. A natural antioxidant, riboflavin protects the body against damage from free radicals, which are produced when the body breaks down food.
Free radicals can increase your risk of developing cancer or heart disease. The recommended daily allowance for riboflavin is 1.3 milligrams for men, 1.1 milligrams for women, 1.4 milligrams for pregnant women, and 1.6 milligrams for lactating women. With 0.262 milligrams of riboflavin per 4-ounce serving, chicken gizzards provide between 16% and almost 24% of the RDA for adult men and women.
