Discuss w/doctor: You need specific nutritional information far beyond the scope of the internet. Your metabolism will be severely affected due to your cirrhosis, and careful dietary planning and execution will be necessary to avoid further damaging not only your liver but your other organs as well. Good luck.

Protein and liver dz: This requires a careful balance. You need protein, of course. But too much protein can increase ammonia intoxication risk and hepatic encephalopathy risk. Aim for 50-60 grams per day but consult with liver doc and dietitian.
