Title
Development of Myanmar Protein and Calorie Counting Booklet for Chronic Kidney Disease Patients
A validated food list for protein counting tool is a basic step in nutrition education for chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients. In this study, a common Myanmar foods list is developed to count energy (kcal) and protein (g) per portion with some highlights of important minerals such as potassium, and sodium. From the Myanmar food composition database (FCD), 12 food groups are selected, and nutrient profiles are recalculated to the nearest values by referencing from Myanmar, ASEAN, and some on India FCD. More than half of common fruits contain a moderate amount of 100-200mg of potassium per serving.
