Frequently asked questions
How is this list organized?
By food group, then alphabetically. Each group is a table with potassium, phosphorus, sodium and protein for one USDA standard serving. For rankings across all foods see the low potassium and low phosphorus pages.
Does being on this list mean a food is right for me?
No. The list shows reference values, not recommendations. Your limits for each nutrient are set by your nephrologist or dietitian, and processed foods and phosphorus additives may differ from the USDA reference values shown.
Why do serving sizes differ between rows?
Each row uses the USDA household portion for that food, for example 1 slice, 1/2 cup or 3 oz, with the grams shown. Numbers are only comparable when servings are, so every row shows its serving and links to a page with the full USDA portion list.
Where do the values come from?
USDA FoodData Central (Foundation Foods 2026-04-30 and SR Legacy 2018-04). Each row has its FDC id linking to the USDA record.
