Planning meals and understanding the limits
Understanding your needs
Dietary needs can differ with kidney function and treatment. The NHS describes chronic kidney disease care as an individual combination of lifestyle advice, medicines and, when needed, specialist treatment.
What the planner can do
Create a seven-day menu from recipe data, estimated calories, food preferences and the available ingredient filters. Review the ingredients and portions before using a plan.
What needs professional advice
The planner does not track potassium or phosphorus, accept a CKD stage, adapt to dialysis or manage fluid restrictions. Recipe flags cannot establish suitability for a renal diet; ask your renal team before using a generated menu.
