Hypertension Prevention Trial (HPT) Food Counter: Sodium, Calories

摘要

The Food Counter is designed to help one become aware of the sodium and calorie content of foods. Learning the amount of sodium and calories in the foods one eats will help decrease the amount of sodium in the diet and control weight. The sodium and calorie values in this booklet were taken from United States Department of Agriculture food composition tables and from values provided by food manufacturers. All values are rounded to the nearest five milligrams or calories. The Food Counter lists many commonly eaten foods. It is not intended to be a list of all foods.
