Summary

This trial tests whether adding specially formulated low-protein foods (FLAVIS products) to a standard low-protein diet helps people with chronic kidney disease (stages 3a-5) better control their protein intake. Participants will be randomly assigned to either a low-protein diet with these special foods or one without. The study will measure protein intake and adherence over time to see if the special foods make it easier to follow the diet.
