Which is the "allowed" sodium intake? I just checked the average for

the
last week in FitDay, and it was 788 mg. Too high? FitDay doesn't

give
me
the RDA...

This site recommends 1500mg maximum.



Thank you, Beverly :-)

Wow, totally wow. I looked over my fitday account for the last few weeks
and I have routinely gotten about 3000 to 4000mg per day. I don't have

high
blood pressure (I check it at the grocery store whenever I go) and I don't
think I'm retaining water... I think it is because I'm using a salt

shaker
or soy sauce on my veggis in leiu of the butter I used to float them in.
I'm assuming that salt is a better choice than, say, a tablespoon of

butter,
but this sounds so bad. I don't think I'm ready to make that change yet.
I guess that's it - I don't think I'm ready for that. I'll let y'all know
when I am.

Salt affects everyone differently. I have to limit my salt intake because I
have water retention issues that are severe. OTOH, my husband can salt his
potato chips and it doesn't affect him in the least.

It's not necessary to cut out all of your fat. I'm intolerant of large
amounts of fat, especially fatty meats, so I use a small amount of "I Can't
Believe It's Not Butter" spray on my vegetables or else a drizzle of olive
oil, depending on the situation. Just a little bit of oil tides me over
nicely and makes it easier for me to be satisfied with water or herbal tea
for the remainder of the evening. I also have flax seed in the morning in my
shake or oatmeal and try to eat fatty fish like tuna or salmon on a regular
basis.

Whatever you do, make sure it works for you and don't worry about what
everyone else is doing.

Default Allowed sodium intake?

Good summary. The downside to low salt - a lot of foods just don't
taste very good, eg low sodium pasta sauce. I've cut my sodium to less
than 1 gram (1000 mg) but I have a wierd diet. For me, being quite
salt sensitive, low salt = lower blood pressure = better health. For
most people in western nations, average salt intake varies between
8-15 grams per day. http://www.thedoctorwillseeyounow.co...ion/bpsalt_13/
