How this tool works

The Sodium Day Tracker adds sodium from the foods and serving amounts you enter, ranks the largest entered contributors and compares the running total with a selected general or custom reference value.

Inputs

  • Food name
  • Sodium per serving in milligrams (mg)
  • Number of servings eaten
  • Comparison reference

Method

For each entry: sodium per serving × servings eaten. The tracker adds all entry totals. Reference percentage = total sodium ÷ selected reference × 100. Contribution percentage = item sodium ÷ entered daily total × 100.

Assumptions

The sodium value entered accurately represents the food and serving size you consumed.

Limitations

The tracker does not determine your personal sodium requirement. Product formulations, restaurant recipes and serving sizes can vary.
