Hi Ginger,

I wasn't aware how long you have had CKD. You must be a pro by now. I'm concerned about the amount of portions. I love beans, some potatoes (small red ones which I bake), fish (only one piece), spinach lately (too much potassium?). I love it with eggs. I know it is recommended to use just the egg whites, I will need 70 eggs just to get enough to make an omelet. : ) I'm frustrated. You are very strict so you must be keeping your GFR results good. My last one was 48 which I wish were higher. My neph. now has me on a pill I guess to help absorption. I'm afraid I'm eating too much of things. My omelets (which I love) are not what you would call small. I eat peas, oatmeal (probably a no-no) the one with high fiber. Coffee, maybe 2 cups a day and I am trying to up my water intake to 60 oz. but sometimes it's a bit tough. I read beats are good for you, tofu, yogurt (is flavoring okay), some popcorn. Thanks for your timely reply I trust everything that you tell me. I will wait and see if I get any more replies. For breakfast I usually just have 1 piece of Tuscan Pane bread (200 mgs. of salt) with smart balance. I will persevere. : )
