About this food
Beef (Meat & Protein). 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. This is the same lens used for similar items.
Nutrient insight
Phosphorus at 21% is the highest item. Additive phosphorus in processed foods absorbs best; naturally occurring phosphorus is more controllable.
Other nutrients
Protein27.3 gNot rated; needs attention at stage 4-5
Fiber0 gBeneficial for CKD (core plant-based nutrient)
If you are managing mineral intake: Boiling meat first and discarding the water removes some phosphorus and potassium; prefer low-phosphorus proteins like egg whites.
Beef scores Moderate on the phosphorus/sodium/potassium assessment, led by Phosphorus (21% of limit). This site presents data, not medical judgment.
