About this food
How to think about Meat & Protein: Turkey and gravy is worth a closer look - 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
Turkey and gravy's sodium is 28% of the limit, the highest of the three. Herbs and lemon are practical salt substitutes.
