There are def more knowledgeable people on this board who can explain any other implications too much sodium in your diet. i just know it leads to water retention so im not sure how that affects fat loss. my diet is as follows:
7-3/4 cup cottage cheese and a dannon light yogurt
815-4 eggwhites on ww bagel
1030-4 oz grilled chicken, 3/4 cup brown rice, brocolli
1230- protein shake before gym
130-post workout shake/protein bar
230-4 oz chicken, 3/4 cup brown rice, brocolli
500-pre cardio shake
545-600- some raw almonds
630-4 oz grilled chicken, or 4 oz steak, or 4 oz pork tenderloin with broccoli
830-i cup of eggwhite, 1/2 cup cottage cheese
1030-a couple tablespoons of natty pb
you want to eat every couple hours to keep your metabolism constant. you dont want to eat a huge meal every 3 hrs bc your body wont be able to use all of the food your taking in then. it will store some of it as fat which is the opposite of what you're tryin to accomplish. i would also eat something later if you dont go to bed till 1 am. id try a late night protein shake with some flax or so milk to slow the digestion process. I dont think having a can of soup every once in a while is bad for you, just dont make it a regular habit. hope this helps. bump on the sodium and fat loss question
