If you’re asking me...moved to PNW from Arkansas in ‘79 with husband and daughter. Retired in ‘09....from managing hospital gift shop and Starbucks. I started seeing a nephrologist a couple of years ago. He was concerned but didn’t suggest any changes....then early this year I hit stage 4 and here I am...My diet has been horrible for several years....I just got sick of cooking so was living off fast food...junk. Every now and then I’d cook a roast with carrrots and potatoes to make myself feel better....I miss that roast with carrots and potatoes but...that’s life now! lol Heading to Savannah for Thanksgiving with family! I’m thinking.....how will I manage my food on the road! I want to be kind to my kidneys so.... I’ll keep reading and taking notes! Thanks for letting me join....it’s nice to know I’m not alone!

trishanna, I want to suggest that you take a look at this link. There is a easy-to- read chart that you could copy and take with you for easy reference.
Low-phosphorus diet: Helpful for kidney disease? Includes a table of high and low phosphorus foods.

Ah, we're off to Chicago for Thanksgiving and the only food anyone eats there is pizza. How to manage food when one is eating every meal out is my question. I find this discussion extremely interesting but do not understand why my nephrologist seemed totally disinterested in discussing food. Shall take all your comments with me when I check in with a dietitian.
