About this food
For Meat & Protein, Beef is a typical example. Animal proteins tend to be higher in phosphorus, and animal phosphorus absorbs at 60-80% versus 30-50% for plants. Choosing low-phosphorus proteins such as egg whites or tofu, or controlling portions of red meat, is a common CKD approach.
Nutrient insight
On the phosphorus angle (20%), Beef belongs in the watch category. Pairing it with low-phosphorus sides like white rice or egg whites balances the meal.
Other nutrients
Protein30.7 gNot rated; needs attention at stage 4-5
Fiber0 gBeneficial for CKD (core plant-based nutrient)
A common practice is: Boiling meat first and discarding the water removes some phosphorus and potassium; prefer low-phosphorus proteins like egg whites.
By our rating standard (CKD stage 3-4), Beef is Moderate. Main consideration: Phosphorus at 20% of the daily limit. Data is for reference; consult your care team.
Why is Beef rated Moderate?
Beef is rated Moderate because Phosphorus is 20% of its limit (204 mg) - the only mineral reaching the 15-25% range.
How much Phosphorus is in Beef?
Per 100 g, Beef provides Phosphorus 204 mg, compared with the CKD stage 3-4 limit of 1,000 mg (20%).
Is Beef safe on a low-potassium diet?
On a low-potassium plan, Beef exceeds the 300 mg reference, showing 306 mg of Potassium per 100 g. Individual targets vary by CKD stage and lab results.
How does Beef compare to other meat & protein foods?
Within Meat & Protein, Beef ranks less on Phosphorus (204 mg per 100 g) than the group average. Individual needs still decide what fits your plan.
