Limit Snacks & Sweets

25 foods rated

This list covers 25 foods relevant to a kidney-friendly diet. None of these rate as kidney-friendly at stage 3-4 limits. Every value comes from USDA FoodData Central and is checked against the CKD stage 3-4 daily limits.

What this tier means

The limit tier flags snacks & sweets foods where one mineral sits between 25-30% of the daily limit — close to the line. Occasional small servings are workable, but these should be occasional, not routine, and portion control matters more here than anywhere else. Examples in this list include puddings, sweeteners and snacks. 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.
