OUT & ABOUT
On a low sodium dietCafe
meals and on the go.
What to eat when out and about on a low sodium diet is a problem looking for a solution and I hope to gradually expand this page as ideas come in from my readers. The biggest hurdle is that the high sodium level in bread eliminates pocket bread, rolls, sandwiches and hamburgers. But things are looking up with some chains providing healthy salads. If you are following the Australian dietary guidelines you will be looking for foods that are defined as low sodium i.e. with sodium at or below 120mg/100g.
Fish and chips without added salt is low in sodium but if you want to be sure you could discard the batter.
A big bowl of fruit salad makes a good lunch when out shopping.
A steak with no sauce and a salad with no dressing should be obtainable in any good restaurant.
This expanding company has a range
of salads and dressings that provide wholesome fare. Click on their
logo and check out their website to see their locations, what is new
and to confirm my recommendations.
Any of their salads without dressings are low sodium but the Well-Tuna is on the limit at 123mg/100g.
The Well-Balsamic dressing can be added to any salad. It is virtually sodium free at 5.7mg/100g and actually brings the Well-Tuna salad down to 113mg/100g.
The Well-Basil and Well-Garlic dressings push the sodium levels up a little and choosing either puts the Well-Tuna salad over the low sodium limit to about 130mg/100g. With the other salads these two dressings are fine. Unfortunately the Well-Herb Mayonnaise is rich in sodium at 1167mg/100g and it pushes all the salads over the low sodium food limit.

Restaurant
Meals.
I hope to provide a list of restaurants that can provide no added salt meals however it is my feeling that a lot may say they can but will fail in the execution. That is why your feedback will be needed to make this page a valuable resource.
To get us started you could click on this Google search and see if any restaurant takes your fancy. If you have a good experience please let me know. Peter@findlowsaltfood.info
You may like to print out this single page note to the chef that can be folded and handed in when you arrive to reinforce what you have previously arranged. Note to the chef pdf.

The
listing of an establishment only indicates that they may be able to
provide low salt food. Listing is no guarantee that they can provide
low salt food or that what they provide actually is low salt. You must
confirm that the food you require will be available and what they
provide is suitable for your consumption.
