    Do you mean how to set MFP to show sodium in your diary? If so, go to http://www.myfitnesspal.com/account/diary_settings and choose sodium from one of the drop-down lists.

    If you mean how to lower your intake generally, I'd suggest eating less pre-packaged meals (and by that I don't necessarily mean less pre-packaged foodstuffs, just complete meals) and less eating out. . When you know what's in the food it's easier to make appropriate choices. I don't track sodium anymore because unless I'm eating bacon I rarely went over 1000 mg in a day, so I track sat fats instead now.

    The days I eat a lot of sodium are when I eat out for at least one meal or eat prepared food rather than homemade--frozen, sauces, flour tortilla, crackers, etc.

    Go to your home page and select GOALS. Then edit the nutrient section. Make sure to save the changes.
