Phosphorus tracking

I’ve recently been diagnosed with chronic kidney disease and one of the dietary nutrients to monitor is phosphorus. Many food labels show this nutrient. Can this be added as a nutrient to be tracked in the app. I’ve read that 1 in 7 US adults have chronic kidney. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

    It's going to be much easier/beneficial for you to use something like Cronometer, KidneyDiet, or Mizu if you need to track phosphorous.

    MFP isn't a good app to use if one really needs to closely monitor micronutrients.

    Yeah I agree with westrich. MFP is not the best app in terms of tracking specific nutrients or minerals. I would definitely suggest using a different tracker or simply manually tracking them via a google sheet. Have a good day!
