    Low Phosphorus Foods

    Low-phosphorus meat and poultry choices


    Fresh or frozen red meats without breading, marinades or sauce are better choices for a
    kidney diet. On average, fresh meat contains 65 mg of phosphorus per ounce and 7 grams of
    protein per ounce. Phosphorus content for a 3-ounce portion, cooked:

    Meat or Poultry Phosphorus Content

    Beef 155 mg

    Chicken breast, skinless 190 mg

    Chicken thigh, skinless 150 mg

    Turkey breast meat, skinless 185 mg

    Turkey thigh meat, skinless 170 mg

    Low-phosphorus bread choices


    Bread is a good source of carbohydrates and calories needed for energy production. Although
    whole grain bread is a healthy source of fiber, it also has more phosphorus and potassium
    than white flour bread. Phosphorus content for a 1-ounce portion unless stated otherwise:

    Bread Phosphorus Content

    Bagel: cinnamon raisin, 53-70 mg

    blueberry, plain a

    Corn tortilla, 6-inch 75 mg

    Flat bread 48 mg

    White bread 25 mg
    Low-phosphorus snacks
    Snack Food (Plus Serving Size) Phosphorus Content

    Apple, 1 medium 10 mg

    Applesauce, 1/2 cup 6 mg

    Baby carrots, 9 pieces 25 mg

    Blueberries, 1/2 cup 9 mg

    Celery, 1 stalk 10 mg

    Cherries, 1/2 cup 15 mg

    Fruit cocktail, 1/2 cup 17 mg

    Peach, 1 medium 10 mg

    Pineapple, fresh, 1/2 cup 6 mg

    Radishes, 10 9 mg

    Strawberries, fresh, 1/2 cup 18 mg


    Low-phosphorus dairy, dairy substitutes and egg whites
    Milk and milk products are high in calcium and phosphorus. A half cup of milk (4 ounces)
    contains 111-138 mg of phosphorus. Some liquid dairy substitutes can be used in cooking to
    replace milk. Read ingredient lists to look for phosphate additives, such as calcium-
    phosphate. Eggs are a great protein source but also contain 95 mg phosphorus in a large egg.
    Remove the yolk and phosphorus is only 5 mg for each egg white. Phosphorus content for a
    1/2 cup portion, unless stated otherwise:

    Dairy, Dairy Substitutes and Egg Whites Phosphorus Content

    Almond milk 50 mg

    Nondairy creamer without phosphate additives 40-53 mg

    Nondairy whipped topping, 2 tablespoons 0-10 mg

    Soy milk 50-125 mg

    Unenriched rice milk 29 mg

    without calcium-phosphate

    Egg whites, pasteurized 15 mg
