It makes you retain water more so you won't look as cut.


I take in way more than that usually because a lot of the seasonings I use are really high in sodium

I honestly have no attention span today but I will say that I didn't know wheat bread had so much damn sodium in it

 

[jerniebert]

I watch my sodium now. Most everything you buy has sodium. When I cook I only use natural sea salts. Never use iodized.

 

[Milk N Cookies]

Way too much... I already know it before i calculate It

 

[Adam3000]

I eat a lot and I don't give a shyt and unless you have a specific medical condition and have been advised by your physician to consume low sodium, or you are a fitness model who may have to take his shirt off tomorrow, neither should you

 

[mannyrs13]

I think I eat more than I should but I don't really watch that type of thing. I try to not eat it as much tho.

I eat fairly bland during the week especially so it's rare that I get above 2000 most days.
