All 160 foods with potassium, phosphorus, sodium, calories and protein in one printable table you can keep in the kitchen.
Every row comes from USDA FoodData Central, sr_legacy, the same U.S. government nutrient database that supplies every food figure across MedMenu's kidney content. Portion sizes are USDA's own household measures for each food, a medium banana, a 3-ounce cooked chicken breast, a half cup of cooked beans, rather than a generic 100-gram serving, so a number here matches what actually lands on a plate. Each row links to a USDA FoodData Central search for that food so you can check the underlying source data yourself.
Glycemic index values come from the University of Sydney GI Database and Harvard Health's GI list, matched to a food here only where the match is a genuine name match or an equivalent near-zero-carb preparation, 53 of 160 foods. Where preparation changes a food's GI meaningfully, or a processed product isn't the same as its base ingredient, no value is shown rather than an estimated one.
160 foods in this table. Nothing here is hand-typed or estimated; it is pulled directly from the audited data files behind MedMenu's kidney content.
Potassium and phosphorus limits are individual
This table is a reference, not a personal limit. Many renal diets work around 2,000 mg of potassium and 1,000 mg of phosphorus a day as common reference points, and most adults with kidney disease are advised to stay under 2,300 mg of sodium a day, but none of these are a diagnosis or a prescription. How much of each mineral is right for you depends on your CKD stage and your blood test results, and only your nephrologist or renal dietitian can set that number for you.
Each mineral column is color-coded low, medium or high per serving, so you can scan the table without doing the arithmetic yourself. Potassium and phosphorus follow the American Kidney Fund's Kidney Kitchen food guides; sodium's low cutoff is the FDA's own "low sodium" labeling threshold and its high cutoff is the National Kidney Foundation's own patient guidance. Two different named authorities for two different minerals, stated as such rather than blended into one invented scale.
Potassium
Low ≤150mg · Medium 151-250mg · High ≥251mg
Phosphorus
Low ≤100mg · Medium 101-199mg · High ≥200mg
Sodium
Low ≤140mg · Medium 141-239mg · High ≥240mg
Glycemic index
Low ≤55 · Medium 56-69 · High ≥70 · shown for 53 of 160 foods

Rather not look it up every time?
A printable week where potassium, phosphorus and sodium are already counted for every meal.
See the meal plan →Each portion is USDA's own household measure for that food, such as a medium banana or a 3-ounce cooked chicken breast, not a generic 100-gram serving. That keeps the numbers close to what actually lands on a plate.
No. It is a reference table of nutrient data. How much potassium, phosphorus or sodium is right for you depends on your CKD stage and blood test results, which only your nephrologist or renal dietitian can set.
They classify each per-serving number, not the food overall. Potassium and phosphorus bands follow the American Kidney Fund's Kidney Kitchen food guides (potassium: low 150mg or less, medium 151-250mg, high 251mg or more; phosphorus: low 100mg or less, medium 101-199mg, high 200mg or more). Sodium's low/medium boundary is the FDA's own "low sodium" labeling threshold (140mg or less, 21 CFR 101.61); its high boundary follows the National Kidney Foundation's own cutoff for a food that is "not a good choice" on a kidney diet (240mg or more). These are common patient-education reference points, not a personal limit set by your care team.

53 of 160 foods carry a GI value here, matched by hand against the University of Sydney and Harvard Health glycemic index references rather than guessed. Foods where preparation changes the number meaningfully, like carrots or corn, or where a processed product differs from its base ingredient, like potato chips versus a boiled potato, are left blank rather than assigned an unverified figure.
