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
Phosphorus leads at 10%. In CKD, track phosphorus intake and factor in the source (Animal source (higher absorption)) to judge the true burden.
Other nutrients
Protein22.6 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.
