3. Fish
A 3-ounce cooked serving of halibut contains 242 milligrams of phosphorus. Salmon has 252
milligrams per 3-ounce serving. These contain about one-third of your daily recommended
amount of phosphorus per serving. Other fish such as cod, tuna, sardines and whiting are all
high in phosphorus as well.
4. Meat
Beef and turkey contain the same amount of
phosphorus, 173 milligrams per 3-ounce
serving. Chicken has slightly less with 155
milligrams per serving. Each serving of meat
has about 25 percent of the daily
recommended amount of phosphorus. This
source of phosphorus is more easily used in
the body.
5. Nuts and Beans
Beans are the best non-animal food source of
phosphorus. Lentils have 178 milligrams per
one-half-cup serving. A 1-ounce serving of
almonds has 134 milligrams, and a serving of
peanuts has 107 milligrams. Phosphorus found
in plant products is found in a form called
phytate. Only about 50 percent of this form of
phosphorus can be absorbed, since phytate
competes for the same absorption site and
reduces the amount absorbed. Vitamin D
increases the absorption of this form of
phosphorus. Because of this, animal products
high in phosphorus are better sources of
phosphorus than plant products.
6. Whole Grains
Two slices of whole-wheat bread contain 128 milligrams of phosphorus. One packet of plain
instant oats contains 96 milligrams of phosphorus and cream of wheat contains 95 milligrams
per cup. Whole-grain products that contain yeast are more bioavailable and richer in
phosphorus than whole-grain products without yeast.
