About this food

Ice cream sandwich (Dairy & Eggs). 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. This is the same lens used for similar items.

Nutrient insight

Ice cream sandwich's sodium (7%) is the main risk item. Cooking plainly with less sauce can cut the per-serving sodium meaningfully.
