Understanding Your Metrics
Kidney Stone Prevention Metrics
💧 Sodium: Keep under 2000mg daily
High sodium increases calcium in urine, raising kidney stone risk.
🌿 Oxalate: Keep under 100mg daily
Oxalate binds with calcium to form kidney stones. Track high-oxalate foods.
🥛 Calcium: Aim for 1000mg daily
Adequate calcium actually protects against stones by binding oxalate in your gut.
🍬 Added Sugar: Limit to 25-38g daily
Excess sugar increases calcium and oxalate in urine.
Weight Loss & Health Metrics
🔥 Calories: Your Daily Goal
Track total calorie intake. Moderate calorie deficit supports sustainable weight loss.
💪 Protein: 25% of calories
Helps preserve muscle mass during weight loss. Aim for 1.2-1.6g per kg of body weight.
💧 Water: 8-12 glasses daily
Essential for kidney health and metabolism. More if exercising or sweating.
⚖️ Weight: Track weekly
Monitor trends, not daily fluctuations. Aim for 1-2 lbs loss per week safely.
