Question? How can fresh green beans have 800 mg of sodium. That is what it says when I log that in. Fresh doesn't have sodium? Right?

Many foods have sodium in them naturally. But 800 is excessive and surely inaccurate.0
-
nutitiondata.com has 7mg in 110g of fresh green beans, so practically none.0

I would assume someone entered that and calculated putting extra table salt on. I would just try to find a different entry.0

thanks cause that is putting my sodium intake way out there...0

As a general tip, when looking for "natural foods" choose the ones that don't have a asterisk. Apparently, those are the ones loaded in by MFP and not by individual users. When I look for green beans, I would choose: "Beans - Snap, green, cooked, boiled, drained, without salt" which only has 1g sodium.....0
