I've survived day one on a renal diet....barely! It's a Monday, and I didn't do a great job of planning for the week....so I had to rely on a lot of purchased food. I think I came pretty close to exceeding my sodium limit for the day. Nonetheless...the food was pretty tasty! Here's the breakdown:
Cinnamon raisin bagel with cream cheese for breakfast (566 mg of sodium)
A romaine salad with low potassium vegetables and asian sesame dressing for lunch (a little over 700 mg sodium...yikes!)
A few crackers and ginger snap cookies for a snack
Shrimp scampi with linguine, mushrooms, and little bit of spinach (This was homemade with lots of herbs just a pinch of salt). And yes...the spinach is technically high in potassium...but I only added a 1/2 cup of raw spinach per serving, which is acceptable : )
I got a bit of time tonight, so I will be planning for tomorrow. Stay tuned...
