Protein and PKU

Muscle

• With PKU, your body struggles to break down large amounts of protein from food.
• you still need some protein to help you grow strong and healthy.
• We call this small amount of protein your “natural protein” or “exchanges.”

What is an exchange

• An exchange is a small, measured amount of a food that has 1 gram of protein.
• Foods like potatoes, beans, and cereal can be used as exchanges.

Low-protein foods

• Some foods are naturally low in protein, which means you can eat them without counting them as exchanges.
• These include:Most fruits and vegetables, butter, margarine, jam, or honey
