Homemade Fast Foods for Kidney Diets
Fast foods can get a bad reputation for being unhealthy, high in fat (especially trans fat) and high in sodium. An additional concern for people with kidney disease is the use of phosphate additives in many fast foods, making items like chicken sandwiches and chicken nuggets a less-than-healthy choice. Why not make your own fast food favorites at home? It may be faster than you think.
