Stage 3 Kidney Disease and Diet: What can I eat?

EVOO=extra virgin olive oil. Very healthy.

I hope I can get the ingredients I need. We only have a Vons up here. I don't have anything, so will try and pick up some things to make tomorrow. I like your cookbook.... Hope to see you tomorrow.

@jeanice Your question is a good one, and honestly I don't have a good answer. I have seen renal dieticians associated with dialysis centers, or some large medical groups, but even when I was first diagnosed, there was no dietician to turn to. I had to become my own detective, and even passed on my new-found education to the dietician at my medical group. Because kidney disease patients have specific things to watch for, it can certainly make daily meal fixing a challenge, which @kamama94 is helping us all with, with her cookbooks!

In the end, we have to be in charge of our disease, and for me, knowing that I have the sayso based on my own tests, and personalising my diet, makes me feel stronger!

I certainly appreciate your post. My biggest problem is the financial part. The Vegan Salad Dressing are so expensive. And alo t of the ingredients. Can you make your own salad dressing? I only have so much to spend on food. I'm concentrating on Salads with lots of veggies. Vegetation Omelets etc.

@jeanice Many times I use a bit of oil and vinegar, or some lemon or lime juice squeezed over the salad, rather than an actual dressing. That way I can taste all those goodies!

Thank you. I certainly have those.

@jeanice, You can combiine a spritz of vinegar or lemon juice with a few drops of oil, maybe even a sprinkle of sugar - makes a great salad dressing. Also, the vegan dressings are pricey but last quite awhile, they're thick and it doesn't take much to enhance your salad - a tablespoonful of less.

Thank you! I'm going to the market to get things for Salads and Omelets and fruit. I have nothing left in my fridge! Still looking at New
things to make. I will be back on later. Have a good day.

@jeanice, some with CKD are told to limit eggs due to the phosphorus, potassium and protein content. I am NOT saying you should not eat eggs, just sharing some info. A good way to get around this is to use one whole egg and one egg white and save the extra yolk for baking or cooking something else later. There are egg substitutes on the market and my first recipe collection even calls for them but even though I'm on a protein restriction I wanted to avoid them for personal ethical reasons. Then my favorite store started selling eggs from a local free range farmer so I'm no longer a strict vegan because I do buy them now and enjoy about one per week. The first recipe collection I wrote is primarily vegan based on my own personal choice, meaning no animal products, but many, many, many CKD patients do quite well eating low-phosphorus dairy and lean meats.

Hi. I've heard some people use only the egg whites for an omelet. Doesn't sound good to me only because I never liked the white of an egg. But I would eat it if it was beneficial. I'm not really sure what egg beaters are made from. I should look that up.
I did get alo t of fresh and frozen veggies to make a salad and found the Monzzerella chess to make your Mac and cheese.
What do you usually eat for breakfast?
