Dietary Question
I know how much protein I'm suppose to get every day, but I'm not sure about the Carbs, Calories, Fats, and Sodium. Here is the breakdown range for this past week:
Calories: 575 - 751
Fat: 17 - 37
Carbs: 16 - 24
Protein: 86 - 88
Sodium: 1,335 - 2,136
Would someone let me know if this range of numbers if acceptable or if I need to make some changes to my diet?
Thanks guys,
B

Hi your protein looks good for a daily, but for the past week, it's low. Your sodium intake is too high. That can cause water retention, heart problems, and other problems. I wish I could get my carbs down, but they range high most of the time. I don't use any salt, and when I open a can of veggies, I rinse them a lot to remove as much of the salt they are canned in. I use maybe a salt substitute, or none at all. Like green beans from a can, I'll rinse them for about 15 minutes, and cook them only with diced onions, or dried onions. Same as if they were fresh, I only use onions or salt free almonds. They will season the beans better then adding salt and greese.
