Low sodium when dining out

It's been over two years since I last ate junk food or restaurant foods. Given that the national wastewater viral load (https://biobot.io/data/) shows the current surge to be the second worst, it will be some time before I return to the world of restaurant foods.

One thing I don't miss about restaurant food is the excessive thirst from overdosing on the sodium. I'd like to avoid it when I do start eating restaurant foods again.

I've looked at the nutritional information for restaurants that post this information online. It's extremely difficult to eat a proper restaurant meal with under 1000 mg of sodium.

Avoiding the sodium bombs is SO much more difficult than avoiding the grease bombs and the sugar bombs. How do you do it?
