High Blood Pressure & INO Sodium Friendly Meals

GeoBaybee

Hello,

I am in search of low sodium meal ideas. I am going over 100-1000 mgs everyday on a 1300 calorie diet

No processed food, deli, frozen dinners, canned products(there's low sodium options), read labels and make sacrifices if you need to. It's not hard to stay under 2300, 1500 is tough, at least for me. Looks like I hit 1800 regularly.

One method to determine where you are getting foods or nutrients you want to manage is from the nutrient page. Look at your sodium for the day, click the row and you'll see a graphic showing what the breakdown of sodium across your meals(breakfast, lunch, dinner and snacks. For me it's typically only one meal that has the issue, then look at the items again it's typically just one problem food.

I only use the free android version, there may be easier ways to do this with the Web or paid versions.

Cook most of your food from scratch so you know how much sodium is in it...it's a pain but you'd be surprised how much salt is in pre-packaged frozen food.
