Meat loaf can be acceptable for gout when made with lean meat and a low-sugar glaze.
Good
Provides protein with lower purine density than plain beef due to breadcrumb and vegetable fillers. A modest portion fits a low-purine diet if made with lean turkey or extra-lean beef.
Bad
Traditional recipes with fatty beef and sugary ketchup glaze increase purine and fructose intake. Large portions or pairing with beer may trigger flares in sensitive individuals.
