@dogpoundginger Welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect! As @colleenyoung mentioned, there are several of us who have talked about diet and tips to get us through our days.

As a Stage 5 patient, soon to go on dialysis, I can relate to wanting to do diet plans. My problem is that what sounds appealing one day, is not something I want another day. I keep to fresh fruits and vegetables as much as possible, within the guidelines of low potassium/sodium/sugar and eat very little red meat. Chicken and turkey are my main staples for protein, along with a protein shake most days. I tend to "graze" rather than make specific meal plans, as my taste buds change.

I hope you'll let me know what has been working, or not working, for you. Is there a specific reason you want to think of long-range meal plans?
