I entered a recipe in my food diary. The only ingredient with sodium is 1/2 tsp. salt. This is a four serving recipe - how in the world does the sodium come out to 4981 mg for one serving?

    Have you checked all the individual entries for accuracy?

    Most things have sodium..did you use any canned ingredients? Usually high sodium. Check to see where the error is.

    I'm having the same trouble. It's happened in 2 different recipes I've entered recently. I think part of the problem may be the sodium isn't being divided by the number of portions in the recipe. It's throwing my daily sodium numbers waaayyyy off. Glitch in the system?
