I didnt get off track today but i was counting my food on livestrong and noticed I had a lot of sodium. Is there anything thats good for flushing per say?? Like if i drink a lot of water does that help??

Potassium will help get rid of extra sodium in your body. Some foods high in potassium are bananas, orange juice, potatoes, canteloupe.

water flushes help me, so will a light diuretic like lemon in my water.

I also put my food into livestrong and it was high on sodium, although I don't think I had that much. I'm super sensitive to salt and can feel it and I'm not feeling it today. Also, some of the foods I picked were already pre-entered into Livestrong's db and they were close to what I had so I picked it. Like the lasagna I made - I cook with low sodium foods, including low sodium tomato sauce but since there wasn't one in the database I selected regular canned tomato sauce, and that makes the sodium content appear higher. Same with the pulled pork I had for dinner last night - I made it in my crock with low sodium broth and other items, but the LS db doesn't have that as an option.

Livestrong tells me I am over on everything. At first it frustrated me, but I started ignoring all those red numbers and just paying attention to my calories at the top.

I eat an egg in the morning and I have had too much cholesterol - I am usually over my sodium and I honestly don't think I eat that much. By the of the lunch I have had too much protein and almost too much fat. Not enough carbs *sigh* It makes my head hurt. lol

yea. same for me. thanks ladies
