Top 15 Foods High in Phosphorus

Chicken

Just one cup of roasted chicken, around 130 grams, can provide approximately 300 mg of phosphorus. This amount is equivalent to 140 percent of the recommended daily intake. In addition, chicken is high in other nutrients, such as selenium, vitamin B, and protein. Dark poultry meat tends to contain a bit less phosphorus than light products, but both of them can be great sources. Cooking methods would change phosphorus content as well. Boiling could lower levels of phosphorous in chicken by around 25 percent. The best wat to preserve this nutrient is roasting. [4]
