Earlier today I posted a personal vent to the fact that I thought i did an excellent job yesterday with the treadmill and food intake..however I woke up to a gain of 1.5 pounds and was very hard on myself as I was hoping to hit a new milestone today! Looking back on what I ate yesterday Even though my sodium was on the high side I saw nothing else wrong UNTIL...I looked up Alka Seltzer Cold Tablets..I took 2 doses of it yesterday for a sinus infection only to find out today that those 2 doses equaled up 640 grams of sodium! I WAS SHOCKED!!!

Oh... yes, they definitely have a lot of sodium.... Other biggies are soups, soy sauce, chili sauces... Pickles...Just a teaspoon of sauce contains a lot of sodium...

DON"T FOCUS so much on the scale. You could be losing Fat but gaining muscle. Focus on how your clothes fitting instead. Are you weight training? Or just doing cardio?

I'd say it depends on the medication. I've heard a few folks mention random discoveries like this for stuff they've taken. And I know that a dose of NyQuil has almost 100 calories in it. So it's probably better to be safe than sorry.
