Sodium planner
Bring a daily sodium figure you already use. The planner divides it among your main meals, after the share you keep for other food and drinks.
Nothing you enter leaves your device.
The figure you use — for example, one from your health professional.
Example per-meal limit
Fill in all three to see the example per-meal limit.
This only divides the number you entered. It does not set or recommend a target.
Illustrative example
A daily figure of 2,000 mg, with 30% kept for other food and drinks and 2 main meals: 2,000 × 70% ÷ 2 = 700 mg per meal.
How the planner works
The planner sets aside the share you enter for other food and drinks, then divides the rest of your daily figure equally among your main meals. It rounds to the nearest whole milligram.
If the result is from 100 to 2,000 mg, you can try it as the example limit in the sample menu demo, which labels it as coming from your planner.
