Food Groups for Low Potassium and Low Phosphorus Diets

Transcription

1 Food Groups for Low Potassium and Low Phosphorus Diets When you have kidney disease, you may need to follow a diet low in sodium, potassium and phosphorus. This diet is sometimes called a renal diet. You may need to follow this diet if you are on dialysis or are not on dialysis, but you have kidney disease and need to follow special diet guidelines. Talk to your doctor or dietitian to see how many servings from each of the food groups you should eat each day and if you should be following a fluid restriction. Milk Group servings per day; one serving = ½ cup, 4 grams protein, 200 milligrams potassium Milk: whole, 2%, 1%, fat-free (skim), buttermilk, chocolate flavored, soy milk Plain yogurt (count the fruit if flavored) Pudding and custard Cream soups Ice cream Cream (coffee cream, half & half) Protein Group servings per day; one serving = 1 ounce (oz) or ¼ cup, 7 grams protein, 120 milligrams potassium Meats (beef, pork, veal, lamb, chicken, turkey, duck, goose, organ meats) Fish, 1 oz Tuna or salmon, 1/8 cup or 1 ounce (oz) Learn more about your health care.
