I have always used MFP to track calories and always ate higher protein (300g plus) just because I enjoy eating meat and find it alot more filling than carbs or fat. Recently switched up my diet some to go from high protein/high carb/ minimal fat to high protein/moderate carb/ moderate fat.
But now I'm seeing on MFP I'm close to 9-10g sodium and potassium per day. I feel very full on only 3k calories but have been a bit more fatigued than usual. Strength is going up just pretty fatigued overall.
Diet is..
Meal 1. (Pre workout)egg white omelette with 1 yolk and mushrooms, some pasta sauce. Mixed fruit
Meal 2 (post workout)10oz lean ground beef w/tomato slices. Mixed fruit
Meal 3. 10 oz turkey breast (tons of sodium) with mushrooms and cheese+ 4tsp fish oil
Meal 4 protein pudding (2 scoops casien, cottage cheese, almond milk, egg white wraps) + 1oz walnuts
On my off days I simply drop the fruit to make those close to zero carbs. Overall this diet works for me 3k calories 340p, 250c, 80 f (about) just concerned about the sodium and potassium being so high. Could this cause a health issue? My kidney numbers have been fine and BP is also fine.
