Top 15 Foods High in Phosphorus

Dairy Products

Around 20 to 30 percent of phosphorus in our diet typically comes from many dairy products, such as yogurt, cottage cheese, milk, and cheese. For instance, a cup of skim milk can meet more than 30 percent of the recommended daily intake, while 30 grams of Romano cheese provides around 200 mg of phosphorus. Non-fat and low-fat dairy products, like cottage cheese and yogurt, are highest in phosphorus, whereas whole-fat options have lower amounts. [2]
