Yesterday I received a message from my armband pedometer website: You are eating foods high in sodium. Today you ate 1,835mg of sodium so far, and the daily recommended maximum is 1,500mg. The USDA says that foods with less than 140 mg sodium per serving can be labeled as low sodium foods. Claims such as "low in sodium" or "very low in sodium" on the front of the food label can help you identify foods that contain less salt (or sodium). Tips from U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA)
My weight gain must have been the salty chicken salad. I was also high in fat yesterday due to the boiled eggs and mayonnaise in the chicken salad. I thought that homemade chicken salad would be more healthy than store bought one. If I had eaten only 1/2 a cup instead of a whole cup I might have done better. Or just say no to chicken salad. Still thinking this over. :)

I hope I didn't jinx you! We both know that you'll go back down. After your kind of sustained success, isn't it nice to have that assurance that you CAN do it? It's just a matter of time before you're in the green and then the blue. {{{hugs}}}

No, no jinx! ♥ It's my own doing. I also had walnuts for the first time yesterday and that pushed my fat over my 35%. I did only have half a serving of walnuts, though. Went back to almonds today. ;)

Probably the mayo - I replaced it with nonfat yogurt in everything and now I can't even stand a drop of it, feels too heavy...

I know, I started doing my diet and journaling it the day before , then if it goes over, I cut in in half and sometimes in fourth, so that means I am constantly measuring my food, so I stay in my limits, but then there are days I go over a little and days I go under.

Its trial and error, lol, almost scientific, but I love it that we know.

Wow, that armband is great. Just double check your sodium on your food intake log, as you input so you can adjust it accordingly.

On some days I hit all my targets for fat, carbs, fiber, sugar, protein and calories, even my sodium. Once in a while, my fat or sodium is too high. I really need to log my dinner before I eat it, and see if it is good for me or I need to eat a smaller portion. Or eat something else.

What i've noticed on fs is that if you log (cooked) vegetables it automatically adds sodium to your food diary. I need add any salt to vegetables so I enter them as raw.

Thanks for the tip about using yogurt instead of mayo, AilaOne. After all our kids and house guests leave, it will just be the two of us emptynesters here. I am thinking to buy a small yogurt maker. Soon I won't need to make yogurt by the gallon any more.

I made the mistake of eating 3 pickles from a minimart (packageed up) and it had so much sodium that I think I had chest pain! (That was on top of a day with other hi sodium content items. I'm refocusing on sodium intake as well.

I gave up pickles and olives as snacks. The chicken salad had chopped pickles, canned peas and salt, along with the salt in the mayo. My daughter also added salt to the chicken when she cooked it. If only I had not eaten cottage cheese the same day [390 mg of sodium], I would have been under my 1500 mg sodium target.

Deb, try this recipe for "banting mayo":
1 whole egg
2 egg yolks
1 tbsp dijon mustard;
juice of 1 lemon
1/2 cup coconut oil;
1/2 cup olive oil (NOTextra virgin as it is too strong in taste)
1 tbsp double thick Greek yoghurt
some vinegar to your taste
salt & pepper or another seasoning to your taste
Mix the eggs, mustard & lemon juice in a food processor.
Melt the coconut oil (don't heat too much or the eggs will curdle).
Turn the food processor to fast speed & slowly pour in the coconut oil & olive oil into the egg mixture.
Once the mayo has emulsified, add the yoghurt, vinegar & seasoning.
I'm a mayo addict but this is growing on me fast.

Hellman's Light Mayo is really good and doesn't have too much "junk" in it (in my opinion). I normally steer away from light products, but this tastes really good and I like how it enables me to make chicken salad that is still moist without having lots of oil.

P.S. I think the light mayo and yogurt in a ratio of 1:1 would taste really yummy. I have a recipe that does something like this...need to try it again.

Pixipi, your recipe sounds yummy!

I have read several articles about pickles, sauerkraut, fermented foods, etc. On one hand not recommended because of being salt bombs, another article saying they have good probiotics for the gut. Mayo gets written about a lot, "avoid it completely, its like squirting fat directly into your body" and use mayo with olive oil to get at least some healthy fats. I have tried to change out mayo for nonfat Greek yogurt or avocado slice. Works on most things, but not my tuna fish salad, so I compromise with mayo with olive oil. Depends on what you really like, cut out, or willing to compromise to achieve the results you want. Have never been able to eat chicken, turkey, or egg salad so I have nothing to say about them :)

how much mayo did you use. I barely use enough to wet it - just to give it a hint of flavor. I add a little pepper for flavor and a TINY bit of relish - I mean like 1/4 tsp in the whole batch - it has enough flavor that it goes throughout... maybe just put half a boiled egg for your particular sandwich?? theres a way to eat that it wont be as high - you just have to fine what works... but chicken salad is def a fav of mine too!

Chicken salad is scrumptious no matter what you do to it! Hard to pass it up.
