    Rule of thumb:

    If you're eating 100 calories, it shouldn't have more than 100 g of sodium.

    2500mg across all food intake.
    If you log your food, you should be able to keep a check on it.
    I was eating way to much at one stage....

    On my first day using MFP, I almost doubled my recommended sodium intake. Once I took sodium into consideration and realized how much it made me bloated I definitely had to watch out for the high sodium foods.
