Avoid Salt guide
About Avoid Salt
Avoid Salt is a practical educational website for understanding sodium in food. Its calculators turn label numbers and user-entered amounts into transparent estimates, while its guides explain how labels, sodium claims and public reference values work.
What the site helps you do
You can calculate sodium from servings, total a meal, track a day, compare two foods, convert between sodium and salt, check an ingredient list for sodium-containing terms and compare a sodium amount with a reference value you already have.
Why the site focuses on tools
Sodium questions are often arithmetic questions in disguise. A label may be clear about sodium per serving while the real problem is understanding 1.5 servings, a whole package, a multi-item meal or a different comparison reference.
What the site does not do
Avoid Salt does not diagnose conditions, prescribe diets, recommend medication changes or determine a personal sodium target. People with medical conditions or individualized treatment plans should follow guidance from a qualified healthcare professional.
