Research Notes on Low Protein Diet
A low protein diet is a diet that restricts the amount of high protein foods a person consumes. This diet is sometimes needed in patients with liver or kidney problems or gout.1 This diet decreases the protein load on the liver and kidneys, preventing further damage.2
Fast Facts:
- The consumption of protein should not be entirely eliminated.2
- The recommended amount of protein needed in a low protein diet is typically about 40 to 50 grams per day.2
- Examples of low protein foods are vegetables, starches, fruits, fats, and sugars.3
