Take-along Foods

[greenlia]

Does anyone have any good ideas for food to take along for lunches or road trips? Hard boiled eggs, rice cakes, cut-up veggies and kidney-safe fruit and crackers... I used to rely on a lot of nuts and cheese and the like. Are there any energy bars that don't have a ton of potassium/phosphorus?

Hi Greenlia. Check out these guidelines to use for selecting protein bars from our Kidney Diet Tips blog. Next week there is a new blog post on healthy kidney-friendly snacks. Also the DaVita.com article "Energy and Protein Boosters for Dialysis Patients" lists some protein bar choices. Two additional articles "Lunches On-the-Go for Dialysis Patients" and "Snacks for a Kidney Diet" are full of great ideas.
