About this food
In a CKD diet, Meat & Protein deserve attention: Fish - 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
Fish's potassium reaches 27% of the limit - the leading item. Patients with normal blood potassium can eat moderate amounts; those with hyperkalemia should be more careful.

Practical tips
If you are managing mineral intake: Boiling meat first and discarding the water removes some phosphorus and potassium; prefer low-phosphorus proteins like egg whites.
