Breakfast...again


Day 165 - Fry up
Originally uploaded by DragonDrop
I love breakfast, so do keep returning to this subject. The CASH website carries a recent report which raises concerns about the salt content in typical breakfasts. A traditional fry-up can contain your full daily allowance, 6g.

The spreadsheet is well worth a look - it lists sodium contents for breakfast cereals, takeaway breakfasts, toast, coffee...everything you could possibly want, and because it's in a spreadsheet, you can sort it and be suitably shocked at some of the measurements, but also find some good low sodium options.

I think the old adage of "everything in moderation" coupled with "it does thee good to have a bit of what thee likes" suits. Common sense prevails. Varied diet, warts and all ;)

Agreed - even with having to have a low sodium diet, we still allow ourselves to lapse!
