    No, my problem recently has been going over my calories.

    Sodium is only "really" a problem if you have been medically advised to keep to a certain limit.

    The only non-medical "downside" to high sodium is it causes higher water retention, which can mask weightloss.

    No. I go over occasionally, but it isn't a big problem for me. Please see my 30 day chart below.

    What does your normal day look like? Certain types of foods are known to contain a lot more sodium than others. Just look back through your MFP chart and see where the largest numbers are coming from.

    Yes I just love my sodium I'm trying to drink more water which I've heard does help.

    No issues with sodium at all.

    If we're going by the same exact graph.
    I do eat deli meat...which I know has a ton of sodium and is most likely where majority comes from but it's so quick for when I gotta grab and go.

    Yes. I eat all the sodium. I love it. If I need to fit into a little black dress for an occasion I might drop some a few days before an event. Otherwise the water weight is usually worth it for me. I'm healthy though and active.

    Deli meat definitely has sodium. I always go over when I eat that or if you go to a restaurant and order grilled meat they put a ton of salt on it.

    I eat a lot of salt, on all of my meals. Salt is not a problem unless you have a medical condition. I do not retain water either, but I am low carb.

    @Ayybee1114 Yes I suspected it was the type of meat you were eating. Sodium for my meals today was 553, 154, 441, and 110 for a total of 1258 out of 2300 allowed.

    If you're not concerned with sodium, switch to tracking something else (or nothing else). I track macros and fiber, and that's it.

    I track carbs, fat, protein and calories.
    Was just wondering what the general consensus was.

    Would not worry about sodium intake unless you have hypertension. Eat more salt and drink more water.

    I have the same problem. I love salt. I also eat quite a bit of deli meat.

    Any dieter worth his/her salt will often be over on sodium. Probably not a big deal unless you have specific medical problems.

    Why do you say that?
