　　Choose low-phosphorus foods
　　The best way to limit phosphorus in your diet is to limit foods highest in phosphorus, including:
　　Fast food, convenience foods and processed foods, which may be full of phosphorus additives
　　Beverages that contain phosphorus (look for the letters "phos" in the ingredient list)
　　Below is a partial listing of foods lower in phosphorus to help you identify substitutes for higher phosphorus foods. Although a food or drink may be low in phosphorus, you still need to watch portion sizes and limit the number of servings you eat or drink each day.
　　Check food labels carefully
　　Dozens of additives contain phosphorus. Look for any ingredient that contains "phos" in the term. Here are some examples:
　　Calcium phosphate
　　Disodium phosphate
　　Phosphoric acid
　　Monopotassium phosphate
　　Sodium acid pyrophosphate
　　Sodium tripolyphosphate
　　Manufacturers may add phosphorus when processing foods to thicken them, improve taste, prevent discoloration or preserve them. Check the ingredients on food labels to see if phosphorus has been added. If so, try to choose a similar food item that doesn't have such additives or where "phos" is listed near the end of the ingredients.
　　Food manufacturers aren't required to list the amount of phosphorus on food labels. Be aware that fast foods and convenience foods have potentially large amounts of phosphorus.
