What to know about steakhouse food with CKD

Steakhouses are friendlier than their reputation for CKD — plain grilled steak is moderate in the database — but the seasoning salt, butter sauces and side dishes carry the sodium. The friendly order is a plain cut with no added salt, a vegetable side and a salad, not the loaded baked potato and creamed spinach. The ratings below show which steakhouse staples stay manageable.

How to order at the steakhouse

Choose a plain cut grilled with no added salt or marinade, sauce on the side, a steamed vegetable and a salad with dressing on the side. Skip the butter-topped steak, the creamed sides and the bread basket.

Is steak okay for CKD?

Plain cuts rate moderate in the database — the seasoning salt, butter and sauces carry the sodium. A plain cut with no added salt is the workable version.

Can I have a baked potato with CKD?

Baked potato is high-potassium — a half with the skin removed is the portioned version. The double-boil technique in the diet guide lowers the potassium further.
