Hi. So, I don’t care for bananas and I need to up my potassium. I understand avacados are great, but I need more than one source so I don’t get tired of the same food and burnout. Any suggestions?

    Why do you need to increase your potassium? Did you have a blood test showing you are deficient? If you are going by MFP numbers, realize they are wrong as most nutritional information doesn't include potassium even when a food contains lots.

    https://www.healthaliciousness.com/articles/food-sources-of-potassium.php but if you are basing your decision to get more potassium on mfp, keep in mind that a lot of the items in the mfp database aren't accurate, especially when it comes to micronutrients (you can only really rely on calories, and sometimes not even them).

    Many food entries in MFP do not show potassium.
    You are probably getting enough.

    No salt salt seasoning! it is basically pure potassium and just tastes like salt. Fantastic on veggies or on just about anything.

    As long as you eat plenty of fruits and veggies then you're probably getting plenty of potassium. Most food labels and nutrition info don't include potassium. So tracking it doesn't really work. .
