10 Foods High in Phosphorus
Phosphorus Rich Food #2: Cheese
Cheese is one of the best sources of phosphorus that you can buy. Cottage cheese and cheddar are highest in phosphorus, with a single cup of cheese providing you with about 676 mg of phosphorus. That’s almost 100% of your daily recommended dose.
Not only is cheese a good source of phosphorus, it’s a good source of protein and calcium. The same amount of cheese will give you around 33 grams of protein and 952 grams of calcium. People on a low fat diet should be careful though as cheese is quite high in saturated fat.
