About this food

In a CKD diet, Dairy & Eggs deserve attention: Milk - 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

Milk's phosphorus (20%) is worth noting - especially with Animal source (higher absorption) as the source, since absorption differs a lot.
