Your specific dietary needs will depend on your stage of kidney disease and other health conditions. It's important to work with a renal dietitian who can create a personalized meal plan for you. Here are some kidney-friendly meal ideas to get you started:

Breakfast:
• Egg white omelet with bell peppers and low-sodium seasonings

Lunch:
• Chicken salad with fresh fruits (apples, grapes)

Dinner:

Snack/Dessert:
• Watermelon-strawberry sorbet (watch portion sizes due to potassium)
