Meat/Protein. People on dialysis need to eat more protein. Protein can help maintain blood protein levels and improve health. Eat a high protein food (meat, fish, poultry, fresh pork, or eggs) at every meal, or about 8-10 ounces of high protein foods everyday. 3 ounce = the size of a deck of cards, a medium pork chop, a Â¼ pound hamburger patty, Â½ chicken breast, a medium fish fillet.
This means you will have to limit potassium, phosphorus, sodium, and liquid in your diet. You will need more protein than you did before you started dialysis. It may be hard to eat enough food. Your dietitian may suggest that you add extra calories if you are losing weight. You can get extra calories by adding sugar, jelly, jam, honey, or syrup to foods. You can also add healthy fats, such as canola oil, olive oil, or soft margarine.
