Hello!
I was wondering what an "acceptable" amount of sodium is good per meal. I'm trying to cut down on the sodium starting with next weeks meals. I preplan a week in advance.

Thanks!

    Good morning! Is there any reason in particular you are concerned about sodium? You look like an essentially healthy young woman.

    Looking back at my food log, I am almost always over in my sodium.

    My opinion, don't worry about it just yet.

    At the start of this lifestyle change you've chosen, salt is a non-factor compared to getting used to accurately measuring your food, being accountable to your diary and goals, exercising, figuring out what your body likes most, in terms of meal size / frequency / timing, macronutrient ratios, etc . . . sodium doesn't need to be on the radar just yet!
