@bdade59 I found you post relating to kidney disease and foods. I have just recently been introduced to low phosphorous and low potassium food consumption. I was a long term Type I brittle Diabetic until I received a pancreas transplant in 2011. I have many limiting diets (carbohydrates, dairy, fiber, fats, oxalates; and not phosphorous and potassium) so foods are a balancing act for me. One thing that I eat that pings on all areas is bananas. I limit to one a day, but keep eating them because of the large areas of benefits. Everything is a trade off and I do the best I can with fresh, natural foods like carrots, celery, onions, zucchini, and cabbage; frozen peas, brussels sprouts, and green beans; cabbage, and canned dry beans (pinto, chili, black) and tomatoes. For meats I prefer oven roasted chicken and fish with ground beef and an occasional beef steak or roast. Pork is not a favorite, but I do occasionally enjoy a pork roast with sauerkraut. Rice is my preferred starch, with pasta as a secondary and white bread as a last choice.
My favorite meal components are white rice, roasted chicken or fish, and corn, peas or carrots with some salsa on top. I have taken to enjoying a slice of angel food cake with strawberries as dessert twice a day. If I make larger than needed meals I can combine the extras for meals for several days. That makes life easier to just heat and eat on my tougher days.
