9: Saltiest Sandwich
Quiznos Turkey Bacon Guacamole Large Sub with Cheese and Reduced-Fat Ranch Dressing
# 4,670 mg sodium, 1,120 calories, 49 g fat, 116 g carbs

First, skip the large sandwich. At Quiznos, few come in under 1,000 calories and 3,000 mg sodium. Next, abandon mozzarella for Swiss, which has a tenth of the sodium. Finally, choose one of the low-calorie subs at Quiznos--the Tuscan Turkey, or better yet, the Honey Bourbon Chicken.
Reduced fat in the name.... would imply to some that it'd reduced fat... 49 grams of fat is hardly reduced (yeah and i know it's just in the dressing that'd reduced fat and they probably amped up the sodium to replace the fat they took out.

16: Saltiest "Healthy" Food
Chili's Guiltless Grill Chicken Platter
# 2,780 mg sodium, 590 calories, 85 g carbs

Beware the bait and switch. Many restaurants and packaged-food producers advertise their dishes as being low in calories and fat, only to jack up the sugar and salt content. Case in point: This platter actually has more sodium than Chili's 1,890-calorie Country Fried Steak with sides, toast, and gravy. Stick with the Guiltless Salmon, the best choice on Chili's sometimes-healthy special menu.
this one really brings home the point that it's important to pay attention to more than just calories...

19: Saltiest Dessert
Atlanta Bread Company Raspberry Scone
# 1,750 mg sodium, 360 calories

This fruit scone packs the same sodium load as seven servings of bacon at Atlanta Bread Company. If you need a sweet fix, opt instead for the pumpkin bread, which has a tenth of the sodium (160 mg).
I make scones a lot...

How the hell are they getting that much sodium in a single scone?

Thats the one big problem I have with healthy eating. I just can't give up the salt. I buy Golden Flake corn chips instead of Fritos because the are more salty.

See, I actually find salt very easy to give up. The issue is the hidden salt in so many damn foods. I have no issue reducing it or eliminating it if necessary but it gets slipped into so many things.

It is worse than fat IMO.

Ok, maybe some one can answer this question for me. I understand that the more salt you eat the more water you will retain and the heaver you will be on the scale. Not what you want, but is it really all that bad? I also understand that if you have high blood pressure it's bad for you, too, but what if your blood pressure is fine? Is salt a real issue then?
