Sodium

BIG and Tall men,
I am sure a lot of you are in the same boat as I am with not only being overweight/obese but also having high blood pressure. I know that an average banana only has one unit of sodium. I know that canned soups are a stroke waiting to happen. What are your favorite low calorie and low sodium foods and snacks?

    I am horrible at avoiding sodium. I am a self admitted hot sauce fanatic, I go through an incredible amout of hot sauce. You honestly wouldn't believe me if I told you how much I eat. Uhh, I guess if I have a stroke everyone will know why. Sorry man, I would be the last person to point you to some low sodium meals

    Beans! Garbanzo beans, chickpeas and well, all the beans :) Also seitan is a favourite of mine, even if, as far as the sodium content is concerned, it depends (grilled seitan has higher sodium than the plain one).

    Seitan? May we safely assume you are vegan?

    Well, I'm vegetarian, not vegan, but you guessed right :-) Since 1992.
