Sodium Content of Foods on Database

nickihkk

Hi,

I have noticed that there appears to be some confusion about the sodium content when members are adding foods to the database, eg entering 0.23g as 0.23mg. A gram is 1000 milligrams, therefore 0.23g will be 230mg.

Nutritional information on packets is not consistent, some use grams and others milligrams.

Thought I'd mention it in case members are monitoring their sodium content, you may be eating more than you thought you were.

I have noticed this too but i don't worry about it too much as my sodium intake is pretty low anyway.
