Protein intake on low sodium?
Looking at my turkey burgers and etc, I see that I'm about 200% USRDA sodium intake levels. I am trying to help a guy out getting some protein into his diet, and he has to watch sodium due to blood pressure. He's about 6'3" and 205, but high BP runs in the family.
Good sources of low sodium protein?
Tuna is about as high as everything else I eat, and he isn't a tuna lover anyway.Motivation Bench form Charles Poliquin When I let go of what I am, I become what I might be. Lao-Tzu

I dont know much aboud sodium, I never ever add salt to my food (dont even really like soy sauce anymore). I like pepper but was never a salt freak.
Anyhow, sodium control is something I'd like to find out about, this guy is about to get off meds for it because without increasing the dose every so often your body just gets used to the drugs he is using, so its worthless. He is going to try to controll sodium on his own.Motivation Bench form Charles Poliquin When I let go of what I am, I become what I might be. Lao-Tzu

You can buy low sodium tuna as far as that's concerned.
And w/ meat/chicken/fish, etc...it doesn't have enough to worry about as long as you get UNPROCESSED meat...even ground beef, turkey, etc will have a higher sodium content then a natural cut. Mmake sure you avoid anything that is pre-seasoned/pre-packaged...such as burgers or marinated/seasoned chicken. Read the labels.
Remember that eggs are rather high in sodium. Whey protein is relatively low in sodium. You will never totally eliminate sodium (and shouldn't) but if you stay away from the processed meats you should be okay

Eggs, tuna, and processed meats are much higher in sodium than natural, fresh meats. Fresh beef, chicken and fish only has about 60mg per 3oz serving compared to 50mg per egg white.

Even the low sodium version of tuna...which is what I use...still has about 400mg in a can.
I would stay...stick to fresh chicken, beef, and fish. Maybe some whey but other than that most sources are high in sodium.Searching for the right balance...
