Description: Easy Calorie Boost: Nourishing CKD Patients on Low-Protein Diets
Many CKD patients shift to a plant-based, low-protein diet—but unintentionally cut too many calories along the way. With animal proteins out and no solid replacements in, they often struggle to eat enough, leading to unwanted weight loss and increased risk of malnutrition.
That’s where our “Easy Calorie Boost” handout comes in.
Created to support CKD patients on low-protein, plant-forward plans, this highly visual and practical resource helps bridge the calorie gap without increasing protein load.
🍽️ What’s inside:
- A visual guide to 100–150 calorie, low-protein foods that work as easy add-ons to meals
- Ideas for incorporating them into both sweet and savory dishes
- Simple <5-ingredient mini recipes (200–300 calories each) for quick dressings, sides, or snacks
Whether your patient needs to maintain their weight, regain lost pounds, or simply boost energy, this handout makes calorie support approachable and effective.
📎 Grab this handout and help your patients stay nourished, energized, and better equipped to support kidney health—without overcomplicating their plate.
