Kidney Nutrition & Mineral Prep Tips

Dietitian Tip: Commercial deli cold cuts are heavily injected with sodium phosphate to increase shelf life and water weight. Always use freshly cooked roasted poultry breast to avoid toxic inorganic additives.

Stage Adaptation: Ideal for Stages 1 and 2. For Stage 3b and 4, avocado is typically omitted due to high potassium.
