Highest Phosphorus Foods

Foods ranked by phosphorus per 100 g from USDA FoodData Central.

Phosphorus works with calcium to build bone and teeth, and forms part of ATP, DNA, and every cell membrane. It is abundant enough across protein foods, dairy, grains, and additives that shortfalls are uncommon. The more practical concern runs the other way: people with reduced kidney function are often advised to limit phosphorus, because impaired kidneys clear it less effectively — a restriction that should be managed with a clinician rather than self-directed.

This is general nutrition information, not medical advice — talk to a healthcare provider about what's right for you.
