    MFP should tell u that right? Umm...but question? Y are u only eating 1200 cals a day girl? I'm guessing around 1500 though. But I'm basing that off my sodium intake which is 2 something. My daily caloric intake is at 1500 actually a lil' over but I never get that especially with the exercise. But yeah...hope that helps. =D

    Umm! it all depends on what you are eating? If you add sodium to your list it will keep track of it.

    It doesn't matter what your cals are.. Sodium shouldn't exceed 2500 mg.. It doesn't go up when you exercise or anything.. It shouldn't exceed 2500 mg.. I just started watching my sodium and it has been a real eye opener:noway: If you are having a "salty" day drink much more water than your typical 8 glasses.. this will help flush some sodium out.. Good luck!

    I agree with **** post, in addition "The American Heart Association recommends that you choose and prepare foods with little or no salt to reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease. Aim to eat less than 1,500 mg of sodium per day."
    The Link: http://www.americanheart.org/presenter.jhtml?identifier=4708

    But it also states "Healthy American adults should eat less than 2,400 milligrams of sodium a day. This is about 1 teaspoon of sodium chloride (salt)"

    Hope this Helps!
