Data taken from the USDA Nutrient Database (the same information is available in different format at Nutrition Data).

Note that many items have different forms that may vary somewhat from the figures given, so check the database itself for more information and other foods. Also see http://www.serve.com/BatonRouge/vit_min_content_organmeat.htm for quick info on various organ meats and Phosphorus Food Chartsl for a list of a number of different foods showing the mg of phosphorus per 100 grams (about 3.5 oz). For more information on the phosphorus content of foods, see these USDA Nutrient Database tables, sorted Alphabetically and by Phosphorus Content.

* Values vary between brands and products. Quick versions appear to be quite high in phosphorus, possibly due to the use of disodium phosphate to speed the cooking process (check the ingredient label). Enriched products may contain ferric orthophosphate, a source of iron but also phosphorus (see Farina Mills above). Regular, Instant and Mix'n Eat all have low phosphorus according to the Nutrition Database. Amounts for Malt-o-Meal were confirmed with the company in December 2012 (Creamy Hot Wheat is similar with no fat and slightly less protein). Washing and cooking in extra water that is discarded may remove some phosphorus as well as other nutrients, which may account for phosphorus being lower in cooked versions.
If "% of Daily Value" is shown, you can calculate the amount of phosphorus, which is based on adult recommendations of 1,000 mg. For example, if the box shows 2% of DV per serving, that would be approximately 20 mg phosphorus. Divide that number by the number of calories per serving and multiply by 100 to determine mg of phosphorus per 100 kcals. For example, if a serving has 20 mg phosphorus and 80 kcals, that would be 25 mg phosphorus per 100 kcals (20 ÷ 80 * 100).
