Im new to the whole healthy eating caper, and im confused why everyone is so concerned about logging things for sodium levels!
Is this just due to the health risks of eating to much salt, or does it have any affect on weight gain?

    It makes you retain water horribly. And yes, there are many health risks involved with repeatedly high sodium over long periods, but losing weight helps alleviate those problems.
