Guest guest Posted February 22, 2011 Report Share Posted February 22, 2011 Get a program like FitDay and track what you eat. It will tell you how much K and Na you're eating. By the end of two weeks, you'll have a very good idea without further tracking. http://www.fitday.com/ If you want to do it the hard way, there are lists of foods and their nutrient content all over the Web .
