Hi all! Is there a way in fitness pal to see which foods for the day were highest in sodium? Thanks!

    If you have Premium MFP, it's direct, in the phone/tablet app: You can go into the nutrition menu, day view nutrients tab, scroll down to sodium, click on that, and it'll show you the foods you've eaten that contributed the most sodium. (I don't think that's available in free MFP.)

    In free MFP (or Premium) you can use the web browser version of MFP, go to your diary page, scroll to the bottom of the page, and click "View Full Report". That will have an expanded diary view with a sodium column you can visually scan and find the big sodium contributors. In the phone/tablet app, looking at your diary page in landscape view should give you that same kind of view - I think even in free MFP. You might have to change your phone/tablet's (not MFP's) setting to auto-rotate the screen when you turn your phone, in order to see that (I have to, on my Android phone).

    Thank you so much, it worked!
