Pork and CKD: Phosphorus Data per 100 g

Per 100 g, Pork has 267 mg of Phosphorus — that is 27% of the daily limit. This falls in the High band, so portions matter if you are watching phosphorus.

About Pork

Pork (Meat & Protein). 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. This is the same lens used for similar items.

Nutrient insight

Phosphorus at 27% is the highest item. Additive phosphorus in processed foods absorbs best; naturally occurring phosphorus is more controllable.

Phosphorus / Sodium / Potassium per 100 g

Practical tips

If you are managing mineral intake: Boiling meat first and discarding the water removes some phosphorus and potassium; prefer low-phosphorus proteins like egg whites.
