I wish they would list the phosphorus contents. I'm on dialysis and require high protein requirements every day but must restrict phosphorus. If I knew this number I could better account for it in my diet. Unfortunately phosphorus is not required in current labeling requirements.
- mtl_usr 9y agoThat's a shame. Curious, how do you normally figure out the phosphorus content ? Is there a guideline somewhere that gives you an adequate estimate ?
- pkaye 9y agoFor many common food items, the USDA has a database of full nutrition information including phosphorus. This is a God send for me. https://ndb.nal.usda.gov/ndb/search/list https://ndb.nal.usda.gov/ndb/search/list Beyond thing I have few tricks to get a estimate but mostly for those things I don't know the numbers well, I eat in moderation.
