Following the kidney diet is tough

The DaVita Diet Helper makes it easier. Kidney-friendly meals are easy to plan, prepare and track using this online dialysis-diet tool.

You enter your diet prescription that you get from your doctor or dietitian and DaVita Diet Helper provides a meal plan for breakfast, lunch, dinner and snacks along with nutrition information. Easy-to-make recipes have been kitchen-tested for taste. Plus, since meals have about the same nutritional values, you can make substitutions so you eat foods you enjoy.

Who can use the DaVita Diet Helper?

People in Stage 4 and Stage 5 kidney disease. The kidney diet monitors protein, potassium, sodium and phosphorus intake. If you are not in the later stages of chronic kidney disease and your doctor or renal dietitian has not suggested you be on a kidney diet, the DaVita Diet Helper may not be suitable for you.

Do you need your diet prescription?

No problem. Print out our diet prescription form and take it to your doctor or dietitian.
