In Food List High in Potassium, I wrote:

If you have been advised to lower your potassium intake (especially diabetic or kidney impaired people), treat the following list as foods to avoid. If you fall into this category, and would like to see a list of low potassium foods, then please let me know.

Now somebody has made the call and asked for it. In fact, they have asked for “low potassium and protein foods“

Why would anybody want this? Should I treat it as a priority?

Please add your thoughts here.

I would not make this a priority. If you start down this road you will end up making lists for every other low-this/high-that catagory.

There are too many potential condition combinations to try to come up with advice for. Besides, the potassium info is available via PDF from the University of Michigan Medical Center (http://www.med.umich.edu/1libr…..odList.pdf)

A great resource is the USDA Nurtrient Database.

Check out http://www.ars.usda.gov/Servic…..ocid=17477

Interested in low-cholesterol? Click the list next to cholesterol. Need more B-12? They got it covered also. Laugh Every standard nutrient is in the list and it comes from an official source (USDA).

If you want to know stuff about specific foods you can search the database at http://www.nal.usda.gov/fnic/f…..mp/search/. Just type in the food or SOURCE of food (e.g. McDonald's French Fries) and you can get details.

I use that database for most of my lists, and have a project on hold to allow very user-friendly access to it.

Most of this is based on the nutridb nutrition database that uses the USDA data.

I feel it needs at a minimum:

output based on nutrients per 100 calories
searches in descending order (including a way of omitting those foods for which a particular nutrient has no data rather than reporting zero)
PRAL calculation (and hopefully NEAP analysis)

But even as it stands, it is very useful.

Now, Tavery, why are you looking up McDonald's French Fries?
