Almost every day I go over on my sodium intake. I just can't figure out how to keep it down while keeping everything else on track. I also have sugar issues, but I'm mostly concerned about the sodium. Any suggestions?????

    If you open your food diary, we can make suggestions based on your specific diet. Hard to tell where you're going over if we can't see it.

    stay away from processed food and canned soups -- they are typically loaded in salt.

    Bumpity bump - my hubby is struggling with this as well. The only difference in our diets is that he eats meat, and he is over every day by at least 1K, but I am always under!

    Yours isn't open either. If you have it open to friends only, you'll need to open it to the public.

    I have the same issue. I check sodium on EVERYTHING I buy. I have noticed my eating out days are my real killers...even when I make the "healthier" restaurant menu choice.

    First I would try replacing your Miracle Whip with plain Greek yogurt since you already eat that. The subs are not doing you any favors ether. Try inputting food in here before you eat them when you can so you see what it will do to your day.
