13 Foods with Way More Salt than You Realized
Lisa Marie Conklin
What do instant oatmeal, cookies, and canned veggies have in common? They are all foods high in sodium—and you probably didn’t know they were.
Cottage cheese
Cottage cheese with fruit is an old lunchtime favorite, packed with protein and calcium. But if you’re aiming to lower your sodium, you might want to skip these creamy curds, as they’re actually foods high in sodium. Cottage cheese has at least 400 mg of sodium per half cup. For a tasty substitute, try Greek yogurt. You’ll get more protein, calcium, vitamin D, and as a bonus, some good-for-your-gut probiotics. Most Greek yogurts weigh in at only 70 mg of sodium per half cup.
