Hi Everyone,
I have been using my fitness pal for about 10 days now, and I have a question about sodium totals. How important are they to overall weight loss? I have a really yummy recipe for polenta and vegan chirizo. While it is very low in calories and fat, it is super high in sodium. Yesterday I had a bunch of calories left. But I had to try out several combinations for a dinner menu, so the polenta/chirizo dish I had at lunch would not push me over the salt limit.
