I put the diet that I got from the dietician on here a while back. I believe it deserves to be repeated every so often. Not only for your sake, but also to help remind me of the foods I need to be eating. So here it is:
1,500 Cal. Lower Carb Meal Plan (Low Sodium, Low Potassium, Diabetic Management, Weight Management, Stage 3 Kidney Disease)+ about 45% of these calories come from carbs/ 30% of calories from protein/ 25% of calories from fat (about 5 tsp. oils/day).
"Carbohydrates" come from Fruit, Breads, Cereals, Rice, Pasta Crackers, Soups, Starchy Veggies, Milk, Yogurt and "Junk Foods"
"1 Carb Serving" = 1 piece of fresh fruit or 1/2 cup fruit juice or 1/2 cup cooked cereal or 3/4 cup cold cereal or 1 pancake or 1 waffle or 1 slice of bread or 1/2 bagel or 1/2 tortilla or 1/2 cup rice, or 1/2 cup pasta or 1/2 cup beans (legumes) or 1/2 cup peas, squash, corn, cooked carrots, or 3 cups unsalted popcorn or 4-6 crackers (check total carbs on label) or 1 cup skim or 1% milk or low-fat yogurt. Avoid potatoes, tomatoes, bananas, oranges, and O. J.
The meal pattern below for carb servings is 2-1-2-1-2 (2 carbs for meals, 1 carb for snacks).

in sodium, calories, sugar, and fat. They promote weight gain, food cravings, and blood sugar imbalances, and should be avoided.
