Dietary Protein

Following your doctor or dietitian's advice on protein intake is important in maintaining good health. The amount of protein in the diet is sometimes controlled in an effort to reduce the waste products that build up in the body. When determining daily protein requirements, your current level of kidney function and dialysis status must be taken into consideration.

HIGH Protein Foods
Milk, cheese & other dairy products
Meats, poultry & fish
Soya products
Nuts, beans, peas and lentils (usually 1 daily serving of legumes is allowed for vegetarians only)


It is essential to follow the advice of your doctor
or dietitian on dietary recommendations that are right for you.
