Background/Objectives: Educational support is a well-established strategy in diet management for chronic diseases. No study has reported the impact of protein counting low-protein kidney disease (CKD). We aimed to assess how protein-counting educational program could enhance adherence and satisfaction managing CKD patients with an eGFR below 20 mL/min/1.73 m2. Methods: conducted prospective pilot comparing before after program, which included four group meetings two individual over six months. Diet was assessed by estimating intake using 24 h urine urea excretion, while evaluated MDRD questionnaire. Results: Twenty-four mean age 63.9 years experienced improved adherence, significant reduction (from 59.82 ± 15.57 g/day 47.18 13.7 g/day, p < 0.001) increase overall median 3.57 (3.1–4) 4 (3.6–4.1), = 0.001). Conclusions: An that includes assists stage 4–5 improving their increasing dietary satisfaction.
