How much sodium in a day?

[jimmy3024]

How much are you guys consuming?

If blood sodium is normal do you still need to supplement?

I drank pedialyte the past couple days and haven’t felt a pump like this in ages…

 

[Fleezy]

At least 4g from sea salt

Probably closer to 5-6g per day

I don't track sodium but I season pretty much everything I eat with Tony Cachere's creole seasoning. I'll even put salt in when I make a bowl of whey protein with oats or whatever. I'm sure I get many grams of sodium per day

Unless you have a heart or kidney issue there's no reason to restrict sodium.

Why’s the RDA 1,500mg?

No clue. Fixating on minutiae like this is what keeps guys from making progress.

8g+ for me at least. Probably more.

The only time I ever actually tracked it , it was like 9-12 grams.
I also put Tony's on everything or "season salt" , my last labs had my sodium levels at 136.
