I'm actually surprised today at how much sodium I took in. I ate pretty stellar today. We went to Chili's for my dad's birthday today (Happy Birthday Dad!), and I had cajun salmon (off of the Guiltless Grill menu) with black beans and broccoli. I had about 10 chips and some salsa, but according to the calorie-count.com guide, there's only 450 in an ENTIRE basket of chips. I had less than a 5th of it, so about 500 mg of sodium there.
The thing that really surprised me is that between my 8 ounces of grilled salmon, a cup of black beans and broccoli, there was over 1000 mg of sodium.
Either way, it could definitely be worse, but now that I've got a secondary focus on my sodium intake, I'm surprised at where I'm finding high sodium levels. Just something to think about.
Until tomorrow - I've got to hit the hay.. getting up at 5:30am comes way to quick when I'm not hitting the hay until after 11pm every night. Catch you tomorrow.
The Sodium is a problem for me. I can't seem to stay in a healthy range. It's everywhere!
ReplyDeleteI've got so much to worry about I don't worry too much about sodium. So sue me.
ReplyDeleteI feel like sodium is like the 'new' thing in my head. Billy or Kevin, do you guys have any idea on the levels that you should have? I was told I should hover around 2000 - but I've been blowing that number out of the water lately.
ReplyDeleteI know it's not the most important number we're looking at - but you know how I get - when I focus on something, I go way overboard, as usual :P
I was told to try not to exceed 3,000mg per day. But that might have been just for me. I dunno.
ReplyDelete3000 sounds so much more reasonable. I've been trying to keep under 2000, and that's damn near impossible. Hell, 6 ounces of tuna has almost 750.
ReplyDeleteI have no idea really. Maybe once I get my weight under control, I can start worrying about sodium...
ReplyDeleteUnless you have high blood pressure or heart disease in your family I wouldn't worry too much about it unless you are going crazy and eating strait salt. I hardly add salt to anything so that makes me think I am ok. Truthfully I should watch mine closer cause I do have borderline high blood pressure etc. Hoping that will come down with the weight though.
