Hi,

I am looking for a little advice please.

My sodium levels for the past 3 days are:

Monday - 877
Tuesday - 64
Wednesday - 165

This is obviously leaving me with heaps of sodium left.

Does my sodium intake seem really low.

Thanks

    Mine is usually low too. If I feel a bit weak or squeamish, I drink a bouillon. That increases my sodium intake really quickly.

    I actually tend to track my potassium more. As sodium gets me to retain water, if my potassium is lower than my sodium is.

    The sodium on a lot of foods in the database is not correct. Packages are labelled with grams of sodium or salt. Not everyone recalculates that to the milligrams of sodium, that is asked for in the database. Same ist true for potassium as this is normally not even on the Labels.
