7-Day Phosphorus Balance Plan
Protocol Objectives
Protein Correlation
Phosphorus is found in all high-protein foods (meat, dairy, fish). Regulating protein intake regulates phosphorus.
Organic vs Inorganic
Natural phosphorus (meat/nuts) is only 40-60% absorbed. Inorganic phosphate additives (soda/processed food) are 90-100% absorbed. Avoid additives first.
Dairy
Dairy is very high in phosphorus. Limit portion sizes if levels are high.
