Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Feasibility <br>The primary endpoint of this trial will be a composite outcome using quantitative and qualitative analysis of feasibility. We will measure feasibility using:: <br>•Adherence to dietary recommendations. This will be measured using the 24-hour pass methodology to assess dietary intake with particular focus on renal dietary components: protein, potassium, phosphorous and sodium intake compared to renal dietary guideline recommendations. <br>•Recruitment rate <br>•Drop-out rate <br>•Participant satisfaction (using a 5 point likert scale)<br>•Semi-structured interviews to explore adherence to study procedures, rates of self-monitoring, decision making, problem solving and behaviour change (measured in group B only)<br>[3 and 6 months post commencement of intervention]
