Beef and CKD: Phosphorus Data per 100 g

For Phosphorus, Beef provides 202 mg per 100 g, or 20% of the daily limit. Compared with the 1,000 mg daily allowance, this is a Moderate contribution.

About Beef

Beef sits in the Meat & Protein group. 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

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

Phosphorus / Sodium / Potassium per 100 g

Practical tips

Worth remembering: Boiling meat first and discarding the water removes some phosphorus and potassium; prefer low-phosphorus proteins like egg whites.
