About Egg

Egg 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 at 17% is the highest item. Additive phosphorus in processed foods absorbs best; naturally occurring phosphorus is more controllable.
