About this food

In a CKD diet, Meat & Protein deserve attention: Chicken - 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

Sodium leads at 25%. Cutting sodium is not only about the salt shaker - processed foods and sauces carry a lot of it.
