Takeout and Delivery with CKD: How to Order In Smartly
20 foods rated from this table
What to know about takeout with CKD
Delivery and takeout bring restaurant food to your table, with the same sodium and sauce issues as dining out plus the temptation of large portions. The key difference is control: you choose the restaurant, the dish and the portion before it arrives. The ratings below show which common takeout dishes stay manageable.
How to make takeout work
Choose restaurants with plain grilled options, order sauce on the side, and split the portion — takeout portions are typically double what the ratings assume. Chinese, Mexican and salad-bowl takeout can work with the right orders.
