The nutritionist said how much supplement and how much meat to use but the meats, carbs and veggies are interchangable (not fish or egg as far as I know). I'm not sure the amount in meat varies enough to change anything if you have a good balanced supplement.

Glad I'm not the only one who likes this stuff .

Yeah, I think meats largely fall into pretty similar phos levels (except for organ meats maybe). Fish varies quite a bit in phos. But then beans, cheeses, grains -- all change the phos. quite a bit. White rice is much higher in phos than potato, sweet potato higher than white potato.

So, it really does mean a person has to sit down and develop a real meal plan and really be mindful (or work w/ a nutritionist). That's probably where variety is a real benefit too bc where rice might throw things off a bit, potato might bring them into balance --> so variety during a week is probably a very good thing, just like in us humans (how our daily nutrition isn't often proper, but we can still be healthy if we balance out over a few days etc).
