Hi everyone,
I'm mainly using mfp to keep track of my sodium intake, I use fitbit for my food and exercise. I'm wondering if there is a way to change the sodium intake amt that mfp gives. I need 1600 to be the cap.
TIA

Yes,
Go under My Home>Goals and you can edit your sodium under the Micronutrients bar.1 -
A little OT but you can also have MFP track your potassium intake.
It seems to be a well kept secret that the RDA for adults is about 4,700mg (I've been watching my sodium for ages but my Dr was amazed when I started tracking my potassium too..)2 -
I have HBP too .The mfp suggested sodium levels for me is the same level as what a nutritionist recommended. However, I try to stay below the MFP suggestion.1

You can do it with MFP if you're willing to do a lot of legwork to run down the potassium contents of a lot of foods. Many food labels don't include potassium counts (even when the foods contain a considerable amount), and so the entries in MFP's database are inaccurate.1 -
