Do Your Meals Provide Support For Those With Kidney Disease?
Managing Kidney Disease can be complicated - let us help.
Yes — Seattle Sutton’s Healthy Eating (SSHE) meal plans can support individuals with chronic kidney disease (CKD). Our meals are portion-controlled and follow the American Heart Association (AHA) and American Diabetes Association (ADA) nutrition guidelines, which often align with kidney-friendly dietary needs.
Sodium Levels
Our meals meet AHA low-sodium recommendations, which are also appropriate for kidney health.
Average sodium per day (includes dairy):
-
1200-calorie plan: ~1500 mg
-
1200-calorie vegetarian: ~1550 mg
-
2000-calorie plan: ~2230 mg
-
2000-calorie vegetarian: ~2190 mg
➡️ If you omit dairy, sodium levels drop slightly (e.g., the 2000-calorie plan averages ~2000 mg/day).
AHA recommendations:

<2000 mg/day for general heart and kidney health

1500 mg/day for those needing stricter sodium restriction (e.g., heart failure or advanced kidney disease)
