I hover between stage 2 and stage 3 and try not to eat legumes. I will if a friend serves them when I am a guest or to try a new dish. It was hard at first because it was a regular source of protein for me, but my doctor wants me to cut down on protein. I usually get a serving of eggs, non-fat Greek yogurt or cheese each day, occasionally chicken or another meat.

I have read updated current information from reliable sources that legumes are fine in moderation and an excellent healthy protein for CKD stage 3a. The concern I believe is that they are quite high in potassium. if you’ve been told to limit potassium due to high levels showing in your labs you need to track your intake so you stay within your personal guidelines.
