Question too much sodium?

I like to eat bacon with my breakfast, but noticed that it was so high in sodium. I recently bought some turkey bacon which is lower (about 135 mg./per serving). Is that still too much sodium? Any ideas?

I personally don't track my sodium. If I have a day that I know I consumed more than normal, I just up my water a bunch and have never had a problem.

Hey Kim I'm doing the same thing. Watching my sodium. I had a high blood pressure scare a week or so ago and I tested yesterday its already down. I switched to turkey bacon too but I figured out that my turkey was no lower then my regular bacon. The serving size was two instead of the three for my reg bacon. I don't know that yours is to much sodium unless its coupled with other high sodium things. The daily allowance for adults I think is somewhere around 2000-2400 mgs

hope that helps
Gabrielle
