Lean meats are best: chicken, turkey, fish, and lean cuts of pork. Limit portions to 3-4 ounces (size of a deck of cards) per meal. Avoid processed meats like bacon, hot dogs, and deli meats due to high sodium and phosphorus. Consider meat alternatives like egg whites or unsalted beans for some meals.

Remember to work with your dietitian to personalize these recommendations based on your kidney function and other health factors.
