About this food

In a CKD diet, Dairy & Eggs deserve attention: Cream substitute - Dairy products are high in phosphorus with high absorption and should be limited. With eggs, the white is a low-phosphorus protein while the yolk is much higher - treat them differently.

Nutrient insight

Potassium is the highest of the three at 9%. With reduced kidney function, blood potassium can rise, so spread high-potassium foods across the day rather than in one large serving.
