Looking for Lots of Protein but LOW sodium! I go over sodium really bad and I go over fat a little so I need something low in those 2 and high in protein. Also what foods are good with potassium?

    Hard boiled eggs with your favorite no-salt spice on it, like anything from Epicure or even Mrs. Dash - also travels well in a purse.

    Low sodium cottage cheese with 1 tbsp. unsalted roasted sunflower seeds

    1/2 cup steamed edamame

    2 oz grilled chicken

    2 oz roasted turkey (not from package) rolled up with 1 tsp mustard and handful of spinach leaves

    4 oz Plain greek yogurt, stir in 1/2 scoop protein powder and some stevia if you need extra sweetness

    Really with sodium; best bet is to prepare your own food and do as unpackaged as possible....I go over on sodium a lot too and the only way for me to get it down is to do my own food prep and not buy lunch meat or frozen food, but that's rude and hard on a busy schedule so do your best, but unless you have a huge reason for avoiding sodium, its not that big of a deal, just causes some bloating, drink the h20 :)

    Greek yogurt is great-flavored or plain, whichever you prefer, has low sodium and tons of protein! I like plain with a little stevia or something to sweeten it a bit, maybe some vanilla and fresh fruit. Or the flavored ones (which can have quite a bit of sugar, depending on the variety-if that matters to you) are great to grab-n-go.
