Hi chrisx.....not sure wht's considered "acceptable" but personally I think unless you have high BP related to salt intake....or some other metabolic disorder where salt is a problem, you really don't have to worry!

Almost any processed food has salt added....so deli meats, packaged products should be watched if you're concerned. A lot of people also limit cheese, bacon, sausage, etc because of the high content. It's definitly a YMMV situation.

Have you been told to restrict your salt intake? If so, stick with your MDs guidelines. If not, go by how you feel and how you loose. If you find yorself stalling, check your salt intake. If it's high, try to lower it. If it's within normal limits, it's likely something else to blame.

PS. Do you use Fitday? It's a great place to keep track of your intake! http://www.fitday.com
