Chicken and CKD: Potassium Data per 100 g

Short answer: Chicken contains 223 mg of Potassium per 100 g, which is 11% of the daily limit. Against the 2,000 mg daily allowance, this is a Low contribution.

About Chicken

How to think about Meat & Protein: Chicken 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

Chicken's phosphorus is the top contributor (18% of its limit). Source matters: animal phosphorus absorbs at 60-80%, additive phosphorus near 100% - the same number can mean very different real loads.

Phosphorus / Sodium / Potassium per 100 g

Practical tips

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