My husband only has 50% kidney function (don't worry, he does fine with that) and he's not suppose to eat more than 3 oz. of protein at once, and no more than 15-18 oz. per day. Thank heaven he's naturally thin because there's no way he could do this way of eating!


Truthfully, he could. 15-18 oz. of protein a day is quite a bit, even if you can't eat more than 3 oz. at one time. That's way more than I or my DH would typically eat in a day.
DH's typical intake is:

Breakfast: 2 eggs, 1 slice low carb bread
Lunch: salad or veggie with 5-6 oz. meat
Dinner: Veggie and/or salad with 5-6 oz. meat
