Hi @sissieann and @kamama94, I merged the discussion that you were having about stage 4 CKD diet into this existing discussion about CKD and diet for both stage 3 and 4.(The order of the posts got jumbled a bit. Sorry.)

Sissie, if you click VIEW & REPLY you'll see a lot of posts by Kamama, @rosemarya @wietop @trishanna @predictable and others as they share useful information.

Here are direct links to the websites that Kamama was wanting to share.
* Self Nutrition Data https://nutritiondata.self.com/ The website's goal is to provide the most accurate and comprehensive nutrition analysis available, and to make it accessible and understandable to all.

* My Food Data https://tools.myfooddata.com/ Helps you understand and organize the foods you eat. Nutrition information on this website is sourced from the U.S. Agricultural Research Service Nutrition Data Release 28.

@kamama94, can you share why you like these 2 websites and how you use them?

Thank you...thank you!!! Question, “chicken flavor protein sticks”??? For some reason, protein scares me (now)....recipe sounds pretty good! I love pasta so, I’ll check it out!

Both sites list many, many foods, including some name brands, and give sodium content, potassium, phosphorus, and other minerals as well as calories, protein, fiber, etc. One of the sites lists low potassium foods and low phosphorus foods. I asked my nephrologist if I could trust the information and she said yes. This information has been invaluable to me since it has helped me learn which foods are kidney friendly and allowed me to calculate amounts and percentages of entire meals in terms of sodium, phosphorus and potassium especially, which CKD people want to limit. Occasionally there is a milligram of difference in a value between the two sites but all in all they complement each other. The search tools are great, you can look up so many things and doing so has helped me create some fairly tasty and satisfying recipes.
