    I've been seeing people emphasize "too much sodium" alot lately.

    Cardio, as much water as you can drink (1.5-2 gallons) and a sensible diet will keep the bloat off. Don't worry too much about sodium.

    I just keep it in mind not to have too much.

    Each can has about a gram. Two cans a day will give you 2 grams. A pizza has something like 4 grams. I would say at least 50% of my salt come some tuna. I use zero salt at the table and zero when i cook. Okay except for spices but I don't use them everyday.

    I don't generally woory about sodium either, unless I wanna look super cut for the beach or something. At that point I cut the sodium down to minimal levels for a couple days. The effects of sodium are very short term

    ive never really worried about sodium, of course i dont use salt in excess, but im thinking about trying it. how drastic are the changes if your diet is in check (just maintaining right now) and you decide to go on a low sodium diet for a couple days?

    Is it just me? I REALLy cant taste the difference between sodium free and regular tunafish. Fresh tuna is sodium free and is the best!

    2 cans a day is enough for me... I don't watch my sodium to closely anyways... with as much as I sweat at the gym, that and I drink water like it's running out style.
