Sodium intake

[HealthyGirl]

So I alternate between trader joes eggplant wrap with tahini sauce ( highly recommend it) and a ready made afghan veggie stew with some rice for lunch/dinner.

I have noticed my sodium intake each day sometimes goes over 1000mg ( maybe 1200mg)

How much sodium are people taking in daily?

Am I taking too much?

I wouldn't worry about sodium at all personally. Most girl mom's I know IRL eat tons of processed foods loaded with sodium. For my sway I didn't add salt to any homemade foods (while cooking) but I often ate frozen meals (trader Joe's and amys) with sodium.

I agree with Bluebonnet, swaying is hard enough without having to micromanaging sodium. I would only focus on the cal/fat/protein limits and call it good.

I'm sure you're doing great! You'll be an old pro soon[emoji6]!

Most of us have completely given up sodium restrictions. I keep it in the mix because it is safe enough and possible to do (and whenever an "old school" tactic is safe and reasonably doable I keep it in there for whoever wants it) but I didn't do it when I got my DD and was eating gobs of the stuff, as was my husband. Got my 4th boy limiting sodium.

plus it makes it wayyy easier to stick to the diet without worrying about sodium.

I think too much/high sodium can even sway pink! No reason to limit it in a pink sway.

totally and even have some biological data to back that up, chipping away at another new essay on the subject!
