[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. I have[b] IGA Nephropathy[/b]. [b]I can have 40 g of protein a day. Ideally plant based or fish but not red meat. I am not a fish fan so I do chicken breast. [/b]I also watch my sodium intake. My nephrologist says that having very low body fat reduces inflammation and helps the kidneys. She supports the weight loss as long as my bloodwork remains good. If I eat more calories than 1,000, I definitely gain. There is no cure for the disease so I am doing what I can to slow progression.

That's tough. :(

I'd suggest changing your protein sources. Chicken is the lowest quality meat you can eat besides shellfish. If you MUST INSIST on chicken, eat thighs over breasts.

Red meat is definitely what you should eat though, beef/steak. Since you cannot eat much, buy quality steaks and have a small piece each day.

Other than that, eggs and milk for protein.

Try 80% fats, 15% protein, 5% carbs for fat loss while trying to maintain muscle.

Cut out cardio completely, and just lift weights. You can make weight training into cardio by reducing rest between sets.
