Yes, egg white and low sodium, low or nonfat cottage cheese (Friendship brand makes a low sodium kind) are good alternatives for her.
It's not really just a cut back in protein b/c protein is important, it's giving the right type and spread out over several meals. Meats produce more ammonia, so that's why vegetarian/dairy/egg proteins are recommended instead.
I'm glad to have some safer alternatives, and know that the source of protein is as important as the amount. I hope you all compile your information in a book cause it is so valuable.
