About this food

Milk is a common member of 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 helps when choosing similar foods.

Nutrient insight

Phosphorus leads at 97%. In CKD, track phosphorus intake and factor in the source (Animal source (higher absorption)) to judge the true burden.
