Hungry Girl: Low-Sodium Food

By: Lisa "Hungry Girl" Lillien

Are you watching your sodium intake? Look out for most processed and frozen foods. They're packed with the stuff. As a rule, nutritionists say you shouldn't have more than 200 milligrams per 100 calories of food. Here are some of my favorite low-sodium food finds.

Low Sodium V8

With only 140 milligrams of sodium in each eight ounce serving (75 percent less sodium than the regular stuff), Low Sodium V8 is a great choice for those who love to drink their veggies but have to watch their salt intake. It also has just 50 calories and eight grams of sugar in each cup ‑- that's much fewer calories and sugars than what you'd get from most fruit juices.

Amy's Organic Cream of Tomato Soup, Light in Sodium

That Amy is one smart gal. She recently added some new low-sodium soups and frozen entrees to her line of yummy organic foods. Try the cream of tomato. One cup has just 100 calories and 340 milligrams of sodium per serving. Tomato-licious!

Low Sodium Triscuits

Triscuits are a favorite from way back. These woven crackers are hearty, crunchy and delicious ‑- and, of course, low in salt! Each six-cracker serving has only 160 calories and 50 milligrams of sodium. Not bad. HG Warning: Just be sure not to top them with high-sodium extras!
