Sodium is Challenging
Sodium is in everything!! Many doctors recommend staying around or below 2,300 mg. But I'm trying to stay below 1,500 mg. Is it a challenge, yes! Is it impossible, no!
I keep a journal to keep track the amount of sodium and sugar (since that is another goal of mine) to see how much is in all of the foods I eat. This has allowed me to choose different combinations of foods that equal to 1,500 mg or less sodium. It also allows me to splurge of my favorite foods that are high in sodium. I.e. If i eat oatmeal in the morning (0 mg sodium) I can allow myself to have a a dinner that contains more sodium, without going over my goal.
So far this is working well for me!
