Sandwiches
Sandwiches are another one of the multi-ingredient dishes that account for almost half of the sodium Americans consume. The bread, processed meat, cheese and condiments often used to make sandwiches all contribute a significant amount of sodium. For example, a six-inch submarine sandwich made with cold cuts averages 1,127 mg of sodium, or 49% of the RDI.
You can significantly cut back on sodium, by choosing unprocessed sandwich toppings, such as grilled chicken breast with sliced avocado and tomato.
