  • Avocado
  • Sauteed mushrooms
  • Cherry tomatoes
  • Grilled chicken breast
  • Lentils or black beans

Soy is a good plant-based protein, but combining it with eggs regularly can overwhelm the kidneys.

Both eggs and soy are high in protein and phosphorus, and this combination can speed up the decline of kidney function—especially in older adults who may already have reduced renal capacity.

Additionally, soy contains phytates, which can inhibit the absorption of iron and zinc from eggs—minerals that are critical for immune support and energy levels.
