Re: Nephro Dietary Supplement??????
Nepro Carb Steady was designed as a supplement for people on dialysis although it can be used pre-dialysis if included in the protein count. It is acceptable for people with diabetes or without. Here's the nutrient content for one 8 ounce can:
Calories 425
Protein 19.1 g
Carbohydrate 39.4 g
Fiber 3.7 g
Sugar 5.9 g
Fat 22.7 g
Cholesterol 6.5 mg
Sodium, potassium and calcium 250 mg each
Phosphorus 170 mg
It is quite concentrated--one can provides 170 ml fluid (about 5-2/3 ounces)
For comparison, 3 ounces of meat has approximately 200 calories (less if lean), 21 grams protein, 300 mg potassium, 195 mg phosphorus. Drinking a can of Nepro provides nutrition similar to 3 ounces of roast beef on white bread with mayonnaise and 1/2 cup of cranberry juice.
