👉 It's about balance, not restriction!

👉 No food is inherently "good" or "bad," but it's about how much you eat and how you combine your foods.

👉 Your specific nutrient limits (like potassium, phosphorus, sodium) will guide you.

👉 Your kidney diet is unique. You’ll need to focus on your specific needs: your stage, lab results, activity levels, and health conditions determine those nutritional needs.

👉 Under or over-consuming nutrients can lead to complications. Keep your intake in check—your kidney diet can help slow or stop progression!

Need personalized help? The CKD Nutrition Program helps you personalize your diet based on your unique needs.

There isn’t a simple “yes” or “no” answer, but the good news is you can eat nearly anything you want, as long as you understand how to manage the nutrients safely! It’s not about “good” or “bad” foods; it’s all about balancing your nutrients—potassium, sodium, phosphorus, and protein—based on your unique needs. We don’t rely on “no lists” because that's not how CKD nutrition works. Instead, we teach you how to manage your nutrient intake, so you can enjoy a variety of foods and keep your favorites without feeling restricted. Having CKD doesn’t mean giving up the foods you love! Start by getting your restriction numbers—these will tell you how much of each nutrient you can safely consume each day. Your Renal Dietitian can help you figure out these numbers. 👉 Need help figuring it all out? The CKD Nutrition Program offers a clear, step-by-step approach to managing your diet confidently.

Not all kidney-friendly recipes are created equal! Here's why: Your nutritional needs are unique. Recipes often aren’t tailored to your specific needs. If you don't know if that recipe is right for you, you could be under or over-consuming nutrients - that's risky. If you’re not getting the right balance of potassium, phosphorus, or protein, you could either cause further health complications or speed up CKD progression.
