I too keep a low-sodium diet, rarely venturing above the 1 g/day mark.

I should look back at my records and see if there is a consistent BF %

delta in the day(s?) following restaurant outings with family and friends.

Which direction are we guessing extra sodium will take BF %? Based on

's comments below, it seems down? Is this the expectation? Anyway,

yes, let's get some more data points.

Thanks,
