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 -
Low fiber :-(
It is not really good to have a breakfast with so little amount of fiber!
Your morning meal should have more fiber or it won't have good effect on your health.
You should add some natural fiber to your cereal or switch to a better one, that has more than 4g of fiber per serving.
Some suggestions to make this product better:
- add some fresh fruits or eat them as a dessert
- add some seeds or nuts
- add any high fiber cereal (for example Granola or bran)
There is not much fiber in here and that's not good!
Your breakfast should have more fiber and this cereal alone won't do the trick.
Either switch to a healthier cereal (with at least 4 grams of naturally occurring fiber)
or add some healthy natural fiber to your cereal or breakfast.
TIPS on adding fiber to cereal:
- Mix in some high fiber cereal, like wheat bran
- Add 2 Tbsp of ground flax seeds
- Eat fresh fruit or berries
-
Learn about veggies and iron
Veggies such as broccoli, bok choy, spinach, parsley and most leafy greens are naturally high in iron.
However, compared to other high-iron foods, like red meat, fish and poultry, the iron in plant foods is not absorbed as easily by the body. What can you do to increase the absorption of iron from these plant foods?
- Vitamin C increases the absorption - so try having a fresh tomato, lemon juice, or an orange together with your high iron food
- Avoid drinking too much coffee - caffeine can decrease the absorption of iron
- In addition to caffeine, the tannins found in tea can also reduce iron absorption
- If you are a vegetarian, try having iron-fortified breakfast cereals, legumes, and eggs

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"
