    Sodium Intake

    I'm sure the answer to this question is someone on here, but there is so much info, I can't seem to find it. My question is how much sodium am I allowed to have per day? I think I tend to over salt and season my meat, but it tastes so much better that way. Is there a number I should be focusing on?

    Hi,

    AHA Recommendation
    Healthy American adults should eat less than 2,300 milligrams of sodium a day. This is about 1 teaspoon of sodium chloride (salt). To illustrate, the following are sources of sodium in the diet.

    1/4 teaspoon salt= 575 mg sodium1/2 teaspoon salt= 1,150 mg sodium3/4 teaspoon salt= 1,725 mg sodium1 teaspoon salt= 2,300 mg sodium1 teaspoon baking soda= 1000 mg sodium
