How Much Fluid is in Your Foods Handout

Has your patient ever told you that they follow their fluid restrictions (renal diets, etc.) and still don’t understand why they are retaining or gaining weight? 

After you have assessed their dietary recall you can easily tell why they are still retaining fluid because they are only taking into account the fluid they are drinking…not the fluid they are eating.

This handout is easy to read and will help your patient identify which foods have fluid and how much fluid are in these common foods (like watermelon, jello, soup, ice cream, etc.) so that they can better follow their fluid restrictions. This handout also goes over helpful tips for controlling fluids.

This ready-to-go handout will be perfect for you to give to your clients so you don’t have to waste time creating a handout yourself and you can spend more time focusing on your nutrition counseling!
