I cannot see an option for adding phosphorus to my nutrients.

This app is therefore of limited use for people with kidney problems as we have to keep track of that nutrient in addition to potassium and sodium.

Apologies if I missed it in the free version of the app.

    Nope, it's not a field, probably because it's not a required field in U.S. nutritional labeling.

    Your renal dietitian should be able to help you with resources to track phosphorus against your logging. If you feel itchy for no reason, ask your treatment team for a BMP to check blood levels and renal function.
