6-Day Kidney Disease Plant-Based Meal Plan
Jen@JenHernandezRD.com

I’m so excited you decided to grab this delicious meal plan with shopping list to add more plants into your renal diet.
There are a few things I’d love to review with you before we dive in.

Phosphorus content is listed for your education and information. Keep in mind that phosphorus (that comes
naturally from food, like in this plan) is only absorbed by about 30%.

If ingredients used within the plan contain phosphate additives, that amount will increase.

To verify if your ingredients are phosphate-free, read the ingredients list to identify anything that has "phos" included
in the ingredients. For example, tricalcium phosphate.

Each recipe and the day will give you the content of the food.

While not everyone needs to be on a potassium-restriction, if your doctor has told you to limit potassium it will be very
important to follow that restriction.

The general recommendation for potassium intake is 4,700 milligrams per day.

For those with a potassium restrictions, it can be anywhere from per day.

Keep in mind potassium restrictions may not last forever; it depends on you and your kidney health.

Finally, every person has different calorie, carbohydrate, fat, and protein needs. This is an example of a meal plan that
could be suitable for someone with CKD.

You may find you need to add more food to these days to better sustain yourself. Or it may be too much. You and your
healthcare team can best decide what to modify as needed.

I help my clients eat more foods that fit their diet so their kidney disease progression slows or even stops. And let me
tell you, it is to do!

In health,
