Lender’s Whole Grain Plain Bagel
Sodium: 490 mgServing: 1 bagel (240 calories)
This bagel has the same amount of sodium as a serving of Slim Jims, but somehow you don’t expect a bagel to run neck and neck with a salty-tasting snack.
And if you add a smear of cream cheese (between 100 to 200 milligrams of sodium per ounce), you’ll have a breakfast that’s nearly one-third of your daily salt intake.
Ken’s Steakhouse Lite Italian Salad Dressing
Sodium: 440 mgServing: 2 tbsp (50 calories)
Fresh veggies—like spinach, tomatoes, and carrots—are typically low in sodium. Don’t ruin your salad by using dressings that are heavy on the salt.
Choose low-sodium varieties, oil and vinegar, or balsamic vinaigrettes to cut down on the sodium.
DiGiorno for One Pepperoni Thin Crispy Crust
Sodium: 1170 mgServing: 1 pizza (590 calories)
You know that pizza isn’t always diet-friendly, but even this portion-controlled pizza contains half of your daily sodium for the day. You can make your own for nearly half the salt.
Rice-a-Roni Spanish Rice
Sodium: 1,250 mgServing: 1 cup prepared (260 calories)
Most people don’t equate rice with a salty treat, but this side dish contains more than 50% of your daily amount of sodium. The brand does sell low-sodium varieties, but they still have 650 to 670 milligrams of sodium per cup of cooked rice.
Duncan Hines Moist Deluxe Devil’s Food Cake
Sodium: 380 mgServing: 1/12 cake (290 calories)
Think sweets come salt-free? No way! One slice of this cake equals 15% of your daily intake, and dark chocolate frosting adds another 120 milligrams.
Bertolli Mediterranean Style Shrimp and Penne Primavera
Sodium: 890 mgServing: 1/2 of 24-oz. package (320 calories)
With 320 calories, 15 grams of fat (1.5 saturated), and 5 grams of fiber, this frozen meal looks like a winner. However, with more than one-third of your daily intake of sodium, you might want to leave this pasta in the freezer.
