Restaurant - Pot Belly

So I ate there last night and got the "healthy light" option (TKY) of whole grain bread with the inside taken out and just turkey and Swiss cheese. I tried to log it into MFP and lo and behold it's there... Except one problem. This "healthy" option contained about 1,200 mg of sodium. Is this even possible? Is it because of the turkey or what? Or is this even accurate? Just a little confused!

    I wouldn't be surprised. Restaurant "healthy" is generally a claim on lower calories, not anything more specific like sodium and the like.

    It actually has 1054 according to the nutrition calculator on their website. Though it is the turkey. The cheese only has about 30mg of sodium.

    Okay guys thank you. I was just astounded to see that. I've been trying to lower my sodium intake and that threw me for a loop!

    yeah, i was shocked by that too. it's tough when you're trying to make good choices when you're out and bam...tons of sodium. le sigh. sometimes it's nice to not always eat a salad. so, sometimes, i just go with the sodium.
