About this food

For Legumes & Nuts, Chicken is a typical example. Legumes and nuts are typically high in both phosphorus and potassium, so they need care. Plant phosphorus absorbs at a lower rate (30-50%), so the real load is smaller than the numbers suggest.

Nutrient insight

On the phosphorus angle (24%), Chicken belongs in the watch category. Pairing it with low-phosphorus sides like white rice or egg whites balances the meal.
