Breakfast
Chicken congee
Gentle and familiar. Portion and broth matter for sodium.
Meal planning
Everyday meals, and the flavors they grew up with.
FuelWell starts with the everyday meals most families already cook, like roast chicken, pasta, sandwiches and oatmeal, and suggests small changes that fit kidney limits. A kidney diet also shouldn’t mean giving up the foods that connect your family to its culture, so you can add the traditions that feel like home, from Cantonese to Mexican to your own.
Everyday meals, your traditions
Start with everyday favorites, then add the food traditions that feel like home.
Your favorite dishes + your individual dietary needs
Cantonese home cooking, for example
Begin with what is already theirs.
In the demo, Fung’s week includes the comfort food she has cooked for decades, each with a simple nutrient check.
Side dish
Stir-fried greens
Bok choy with garlic. Blanching first can lower potassium.
Dinner
Soup and rice
Lighter soups and white rice can fit a phosphorus limit.
Food notes are general examples for the demo, not individual medical advice. Check changes with your parent’s care team.
Food that feels familiar
Start with their table.
