Need to limit phosphorus, but I don't see it as an option to follow under nutrients. Is there a way to add it to myfitnesspal?

    I don't think there is. Phosphorous is not something that is listed on nutritional labels in most countries. Hence it's not part of the nutritional info here, because how would user enter this information if it's not available to them? Did your doctor tell you what kind of food to limit or totally avoid? I think it includes dairy, seeds and nuts, lentils, egg, wholegrain and a few others. Your doctor should have given you more information on this. Otherwise, can you get a referral to a registered dietician (if you're in the US: not a nutritionist as everyone can call themselves this) to figure out what you can safely eat?

    Potassium and salt as well as phosphorus should be monitored and you should be talking to your nephrologist and be monitored regularly. imo
