Thanks, Ginger.

Please let everyone know that some of the information in these files is now outdated. Manufacturers change ingredients and/or amounts frequently so please read the nutrition label on every food item before consuming it.

In addition, potassium amounts are now required to be listed on most foods but phosphorus still isn't required so your best friend to "ballpark" phosphorus amounts in a serving of something is the USDA website which lists nutrients for generic foods - brand names also can be listed but no phosphorus amounts are required, which is why I use the generic version.

Since I have several comorbidities, my personal nutritional parameters are the best I could come up with and my docs approve but these parameters work for me, at least for the time being. I'm not saying they'll work for anyone else, they just work for my renal/diabetic/gastroparesis vegetarian diet.

Another word of caution: since I no longer can eat certain iron-bearing veggies, I'm anemic but can't tolerate iron supplements. If you can tolerate spinach and other iron containing veggies, go for it.

Also, as a diabetic I no longer need much, if any, short-acting insulin at meals and only 8 units of long acting insulin at bedtime but please don't expect my parameters to work the same for you as they are (at least temporarily) for me.

My daily intake guidelines are:
1000-1200 cal 700-800 P 1600-2400 K 1500-1700 Na 33-36 prtn 150-260 crb 10-15 fbr 22-50 ft 8 mg Fe
