Sodium Content - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

I have been looking at some of my TV dinners and could not believe the sodium content in some of them. I checked a couple of my frozen pizzas and the sodium content was 739 mg. I checked a box of macaroni and cheese and the sodium content was 947 mg (serving size: 1 cup). I checked some of the Stouffer's dinners and they have a sodium content of 744 mg. I think I am going to ask my mom for some home cooked recipes because this sodium content in these dinners is dangerous.

If sodium is an issue for you most frozen dinner items are not great except for some made by Healthy Choice, Weight Watcher's etc. Esp. watch out for cup-of-soups; most are VERY HIGH in sodium. I nickname them "cup of sodium' they're so bad. Also soy sauce, ham (most cold cuts)vand pickles are extremely high.

Not just frozen dinners, but canned soup has a lot of sodium too, I mean a lot.
