Super Bowl Snacks & Game Day: Kidney-Friendly Options
20 foods rated from this table
What to know about game day with CKD
Super Bowl snacking is a grazing session: wings, pizza, chips, dip, nachos and beer over several hours. The snack format is actually an advantage — small portions across the game spread the load if you choose the right items. The list on this page rates the game-day staples so the safer picks are obvious.
How to snack through the game
Chicken wings are the sodium and phosphate heavyweights, and store-bought dips add sodium fast. Guacamole, salsa, pretzels and popcorn score better; sparkling water beats beer for potassium and phosphorus control.

- Wings and pizza are the high-load items — two or three wings and one slice is a portion, not a plate.
- Guacamole, salsa and pretzels are the friendly base of the snack table.
- Drink sparkling water between beers; alcohol and mixers add potassium and phosphoric acid to the day.
