About this food
For Meat & Protein, Chicken 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
Chicken's sodium is 29% of the limit, the highest of the three. Herbs and lemon are practical salt substitutes.
