About this food
In a CKD diet, Meat & Protein deserve attention: Beef - 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
Phosphorus at 26% is the highest item. Additive phosphorus in processed foods absorbs best; naturally occurring phosphorus is more controllable.
