OK guys could you please confirm this for me I am now going back over all my foods and something just occurred to me :blushing:

On our food labels there are 2 categories listed :wink:

Sodium @ 0.3 g
Equivalent as salt @ 0.8 g

So do I enter this as ...

1. Sodium - 300 mg
or
2. Sodium - 1100 mg (ie total of both)

Thanks guys :drinker:

    Enter it as the lower sodium. Don't you hate it labels do stuff that is confusing???
    Keep it simple--it has always worked for me. Ad drink lots of water, so the sodium will not matter as much. :drinker:

    Thanks for confirming :flowerforyou:

    In a way that is a relief lol :blushing: it's bad enough at the start of this journey I had missed the fact that it is entered in mg and not as grammes as it is here in Ireland :grumble:

    Would be afraid to go back over now and see the diary entries once I edit all my foods altho might explain a few weeks where there was only a small loss :noway:
