Foods and Drinks Low in Potassium and Phosphorus

If you've been told to follow a low-potassium and low-phosphorus diet, you may think there is little you can eat. Below is a list of foods and drinks that are low in both these nutrients.

The serving sizes listed will help you figure out how much to eat and drink. Remember, if you have more than the serving size, you will get more potassium and phosphorus. For example, ? cup of apple juice has 150 mg potassium and 10 mg phosphorus. If you drink 1 cup of apple juice, you will be getting 300 mg potassium and 20 mg phosphorus. It is very important to watch your serving size.
