Convert Salt tsps to Sodium mg easily
Salt (NaCl) is not excactly sodium (Na).
It is not right to use these terms as synonyms.
The FDA recommended limit of sodium is 2,300 mg per day (or even less - about 1500 mg while one is on low sodium diets).
This is much less than the weight of salt.
(5,750 mg per day or 3,750 mg for low sodium diet) and not so convenient to calculate.
Know how much sodium is in your salt - without a calculator:
1/4 tsp salt = 600 mg sodium
1/2 tsp salt = 1200 mg sodium
3/4 tsp salt = 1800 mg sodium
1 tsp salt = 2300 mg sodium -

Interested in getting more protein?
Protein is important, but some of the protein you find in this product isn't exactly natural.
The protein comes from one of the following sources:
- milk protein concentrate
- whey protein isolate
- soy protein isolate
and that it's not ideal to get protein only from processed goods.
If you're looking for more protein, try beans, quinoa, nuts, seeds, peas and spinach & leafy greens.
Not only do they have protein, they're filled with other vitamins and minerals. -
Not a really good source of calcium!
Cheese is a generally a good source of calcium (more than 10% daily value per serving) - but not this.
If you are looking for calcium - swap for something with higher calcium content.
By the way, you don't need high fat or calories to get high calcium.
Many "lite" versions of cheese provide 30% of daily calcium needs.
Choose cheeses that are a naturally good source of calcium.
If you're worried about fat and calories, pre-sliced cheese, cheese sticks or cheese squares
are a great way to make sure your portion is the right size.
The FDA defines a serving of cheese as 1 ounce (30 grams). -
Contains MSG!
Monosodium Glutamate is used as a flavor enhancer with an umami taste that intensifies the meaty, savory flavor of food.
Naturally occurring glutamate does it in foods such as stews and meat soups.
Despite the fact that MSG is one of the most extensively studied food ingredients and is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by FDA.
Some people should steer away from it as they feel that react adversely to MSG.
MSG is generally found in processed, low-quality foods, stuff that you shouldn’t be eating much.
REMEMBER: Any food ingredient listed as hydrolyzed, protein-fortified, ultra-pasteurized, fermented or enzyme-modified is often MSG, or creates free glutamic acid during processing. -
Contains MSG-like ingredients
People feeling reaction to MSG may also react adversely to MSG-like substances.
Glutamates or chemically similar items are added to improve a product's taste.
Here is a short list of common MSG-like substances:
- Yeast extract
- Autolyzed yeast
- Hydrolyzed proteins
- Textured proteins
- Anything "enzyme modified"
