Is chicken with broccoli and brown rice high in oxalate?
Yes. High, 25 mg per 1 plate
Range 19 to 32 mg across the studies behind each ingredient
Lower-oxalate swap: use white rice instead of brown rice and the dish drops by about 18 mg.
One serving of chicken with broccoli and brown rice (1 plate) has about 25 mg of oxalate, 50% of the 50 mg a day many stone clinics aim for. Brown rice carries 76% of it.
If your doctor has put you on a low-oxalate diet, have it with something high in calcium, like milk, yogurt or cheese. Calcium in the same meal binds oxalate in the gut, so less of it reaches your urine.
