At stage 3 (eGFR 30-59), the daily potassium budget drops to about 2,400 mg and phosphorus matters more. These foods all rate SAFE for stage 3 — low enough in potassium, phosphorus, and sodium that normal portions fit comfortably. Portion control still applies, but this is the easiest list to build meals from.
Every food rated SAFE at stage 3 (eGFR 30-59) — the foods that fit the ~2,400 mg/day potassium budget.
