1,652 foods rated

What this tier means

For a CKD diet, moderate meat & protein items are usable in rotation: eat them in controlled portions and balance them with lower-mineral foods from the same category the rest of the day. Examples in this list include scrapple, frankfurter and chicken. For any of these foods, the food page shows exact phosphorus, sodium and potassium values per 100 g plus the share of the daily limit — use that before deciding on a portion.
