The daily potassium allowance a kidney patient can spend across meals and snacks.
Treating potassium like money makes the renal diet concrete: a 2,000-2,500 mg daily budget is spent across three meals and snacks. A banana (~422 mg) takes a fifth of the day; a bowl of dates takes the whole budget. The Potassium Budget Calculator shows how meals add up, and the food database provides per-100 g values for every food.
Potassium obtained from food and drink — the main modifiable driver of blood potassium levels in kidney disease.
