About this food
Chicken (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 leads at 13%. In CKD, track phosphorus intake and factor in the source (Animal source (higher absorption)) to judge the true burden.

Protein27.2 gNot rated; needs attention at stage 4-5
Fiber0 gBeneficial for CKD (core plant-based nutrient)
How to eat it more safely: Boiling meat first and discarding the water removes some phosphorus and potassium; prefer low-phosphorus proteins like egg whites.
On a CKD stage 3-4 basis, Chicken is Kidney-friendly, with risk mainly coming from Phosphorus (13%). Data is for reference and is not medical advice.
Why is Chicken rated Kidney-friendly?
Simply put: among Chicken's three minerals, Phosphorus is highest (134 mg, 13%), and by the tier rule (<15%) the result is Kidney-friendly.
How much Phosphorus is in Chicken?
In every 100 g of Chicken, Phosphorus is about 134 mg - roughly 13% of the daily limit (1,000 mg).
Is Chicken safe on a low-potassium diet?
For people watching potassium, Chicken falls below 300 mg per 100 g, with Potassium at 153 mg. Confirm your personal limit with your nephrologist or renal dietitian.
How does Chicken compare to other meat & protein foods?
Against the Meat & Protein average, Chicken shows less Phosphorus (134 mg per 100 g). The tier shown here comes from its own numbers, not the category.
