Holy Moly Sodium

I just logged in my 3 cups of spinach I had in my omelette for breakfast. I had NO IDEA there was Soooo much sodium in raw spinach. It says I surpassed my limit by a bit for the day. It's only 8:30am. Is that terrible? Should I cut way back on the spinach. I eat a lot of raw spinach.

    Don't know what your daily goal is but 3 cups of spinach only has about 70mg of sodium. That's VERY low.

    I logged it in and it said for 3 cups there is 2700 in sodium. I will go back and see what I did wrong.

    did you delete the point? I've done that before an logged 30 cups instead of 3 ;-)

    But even that wouldn't be that high...Maybe it's a bad choice in the database?

    Maybe 2700 is for 3 c. of canned spinach? I don't know, my Drs. have always told me not to worry about salt/sodium unless there's a good reason to, so I don't worry about it. I think I'm lucky that I don't bloat easily though, too.

    I changed it to my specific brand. No idea why the other raw spinach was so high.

    that is weird! Glad yours isn't that high. Maybe whomever input that one did it wrong :-)
