Progress on Salt

I have been totally self absorbed lately and spending all my free time on my nutrition. I have a program that lets me change recipes and calculate a standard (or detailed) nutrition facts panel. So now I have a nutritional analysis of what I actually cook.

This info I feed into my food log on fitbit.com. I started this blog talking about mayonnaise recipes. Now, with home-made no-salt condiments and salad dressings, I'm making real progress limiting my sodium intake. And in a tasteful manner. I also dropped the cured breakfast meats, a real sacrifice. The accompanying graph shows my average intake at almost 5 grams sodium/day before these changes. I'm approaching my 1.5 grams/day goal now. I can sure taste the difference.
