About this food

Yogurt (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

Phosphorus leads at 13%. In CKD, track phosphorus intake and factor in the source (Animal source (higher absorption)) to judge the true burden.
