Macro partitioning
Protein restriction (0.6-0.8 g/kg/day) is recommended for T2DM patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) to slow progression.
If you have kidney issues, limit protein to 0.6-0.8g per kg of body weight daily. Focus on high-quality vegetable proteins. This helps protect your kidneys from further damage.

Based on the available evidence, a protein intake of 0.6–0.8 g/kg of body weight per day comprising 25–50% high biologic value protein is recommended in persons with impaired renal function

- Total daily protein intake of 1.6 g/kg/day is sufficient for maximizing resistance training-induced muscle gains, with an upper confidence interval of 2.2 g/kg/day.Strong
- Resistance exercise training combined with sufficient dietary protein intake acts synergistically to maximize skeletal muscle hypertrophy, with protein intake saturating around 1.6 g/kg/day for general populations and potentially requiring 2.0-2.2 g/kg/day for resistance-trained individuals.Strong
- Trans fats should be completely eliminated from the diet, as they increase LDL cholesterol, decrease HDL cholesterol, and are directly associated with increased coronary risk.Strong
