Overview
Use this form to record the sodium content of the foods you eat or drink each day. This record will help you see whether you are getting too much sodium in your diet. Use the Nutrition Facts on food labels to help find how much sodium you eat.
You can tell when your body retains fluid by weighing yourself often. Sodium "attracts" fluid, so the more sodium you consume, the more fluid you will retain. When your body retains fluid, your weight may increase.
If you weigh yourself every day, you can tell when your body is retaining fluids because you will weigh more. Record the date and your weight on this form daily.
Take this record with you when you see your doctor or registered dietitian.
