Occasionally I treat myself to a six inch sub from Subway. Of course, I have to figure my food budget to compensate for the additional sodium such a sandwich contains. A healthy person should have no more than 2,000 milligrams per day while someone with heart disease should only have 1,500. Some days I do better than others.
Subway has a nutrition calculator that lets you know how much sodium, fat, etc., you're getting in one of their meals. I saw something the other day that just blew my mind. They offer a Buffalo Chicken sub that has Frank's Red Hot sauce. The amount of sodium in a six inch sub clocks in at 7,725 mgs., or 15,450 for a foot long sub. Of course, that doesn't include the sodium in chips. That is almost 8 days worth of sodium for a healthy person and ten days worth for someone like me!
Needless to say, I didn't order that.
