Stage-specific rating derived from Cottage Cheese's potassium, phosphorus, and sodium per 100g against stage 1 renal diet budgets.
Cottage Cheese needs caution at stage 1: its potassium (104 mg/100g), phosphorus (159 mg/100g), or sodium (315 mg/100g) approaches the stage-specific thresholds. Limit portions to half the standard serving and count it carefully against your daily 3,000 mg potassium allowance.
Limit to half a standard serving (1 cup (~240ml) → half) and avoid combining with other moderate-potassium foods in the same meal.
Stage 1 means normal filtration (eGFR ≥90) with kidney damage markers (albuminuria, hematuria, or structural changes). Most foods are fine in normal portions — the goal is protecting the kidneys you have.
No fluid restriction unless swelling or heart failure — drink to thirst. Protein target: 0.8 g/kg/day.
Check your eGFR and get your full KDIGO classification — then browse foods rated for your exact stage.
