Everyone with kidney disease has a different amount of protein to eat that is safe for them. The amount of protein that is right for you depends on what stage of kidney disease you have, your body size, as well as other health conditions you might have. That being said, 30 grams of protein in one milkshake is quite a bit! This could easily be about half of the amount of protein you need in an entire day! Ask your Registered Dietitian how much protein you need in a day, and learn how to incorporate your favorite foods like milkshakes in a kidney friendly way!
Is one serving of a milkshake safe with 30 mg of protein per serving?
