Sodium Dishes to Stay Away From!

[Deadly Sushi]

Here is a sample. Look for the link after the sample for more:

Romano's Macaroni Grill Chicken Florentine
5,460 mg sodium, 840 calories, 53 g fat

Salads are often the biggest blood-pressure boosters on the menu, since the innocent leaves play perfect host to a flurry of briny toppings and dangerous dressings. Here, salt-laden olives, capers, and Parmesan collide with Macaroni Grill's massive portions and its cooks' affinity for the saltshaker.

My god! That's 2⅓ teaspoons of salt -- nearly a tablespoon -- in one serving, over twice the RDA! Yuck!

Does MSG contribute to sodium content?

Blech!! Too much salt, I always go way easy on the salt.

Does MSG contribute to sodium content?

Not sure. Great question though!

My daughter would love that!
She'll dump the salt shaker on the counter and eats fingerfuls of just salt.

Yes, my daughter is a freak.
Not sure where she got it from......
Maybe the lego went farther up than I thought....

Does MSG contribute to sodium content?

Yes. MSG is mono SODIUM glutimate.

Yes. MSG is mono SODIUM glutimate.

I understand that, but just because something contains sodium doesn't necessarily mean that it contributes to dietary sodium.

ugh... I am a terrible under salter... I would rather have to little... my youngest brother salts his ketchup... gross.

The macaroni grill seems to pop up on these lists alot.

MSG has about 1/3 of the sodium found in table salt, so it is considered low sodium.

I actually like salty over sweet. Don't really care for sweets at all.

Mmmmm......sodium!

Does MSG contribute to sodium content?

Yes it is Monosodium glutamate and anything that has sodium in it is pretty has salt. It comes in a lot of our foods such as can soups etc. Some people have problems with it other don't.

Ding, ding, ding!! We have a winner! You deserve a prize!!

 

[Maverick2272]

LOL I thought as much. Growing up my dad would just put out a block of salt, the kind you put into water softeners.

True, but for persons who need to watch their sodium intake because, for example, of high blood pressure, the sodium in MSG is a consideration.
