Stage 3 Diet Rules

Stage 3 (eGFR 30-59) is where diet becomes a treatment. Potassium and phosphorus limits tighten, portion control matters, and the food choices here genuinely slow progression.

Potassium target ~2,400 mg/day — check potassium values in the food database before eating.
Phosphorus: begin limiting high-P foods (nuts, seeds, cola, processed foods) as PO4 rises.
Sodium stays <2,000 mg/day — the biggest lever for BP and progression.
Use the leaching technique for moderate-potassium vegetables (boil, discard water).
Take any prescribed phosphorus binders with meals — not between meals.
Track weight and swelling; report >2 kg gain in a week.

No strict fluid limit yet, but monitor for swelling — discuss with your nephrologist. Protein target: 0.8 g/kg/day.
