About this food
For Meat & Protein, Fish is a typical example. 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
On the phosphorus angle (30%), Fish belongs in the watch category. Pairing it with low-phosphorus sides like white rice or egg whites balances the meal.

Practical tips
A common practice is: Boiling meat first and discarding the water removes some phosphorus and potassium; prefer low-phosphorus proteins like egg whites.
