What to know about breakfast with CKD

Breakfast is the most repetitive meal of the day, which makes it the easiest to get right: the same three or four friendly choices, in the same portions, every morning. The database shows the range — oatmeal, eggs, toast and fruit on the friendly-to-moderate end; processed cereals, sausage and juice on the harder end. The ratings below show which breakfast staples stay manageable.

How to build the morning plate

Oatmeal or eggs with toast, fruit on the side and water or coffee to drink covers the friendly base. Skip the breakfast sausage and processed cereals — the sodium and phosphorus additives move the morning. Orange juice is portion-controlled on the potassium column.
