A client newly diagnosed with Stage 3 chronic kidney disease (CKD) wants to continue resistance training and asks about setting a high-protein macro target. The most appropriate action for a macro coach is to:
-
A
Maintain standard high-protein recommendations (1.8g/kg) to prioritize muscle preservation
-
B
Reduce protein intake and refer the client to their nephrologist before establishing a protein target
-
C
Increase carbohydrates proportionally to compensate for any protein reduction
-
D
Advise the client to focus only on fat reduction, as dietary fat is the primary driver of kidney strain
