I have a problem with this app. It gives me a reading of 5449 mg of sodium today and that its untrue, off by more than 5000. It got the calories and the other numbers right, but sodium is one we want to track. it knows what I'm eating. What's up?

The sodium reading continues to be far off, but everything else is working really well. I do appreciate this app.

You can check the individual items on your diet calendar againsts the actual food labels. The ap will let you make corrections if they are wrong.

Keping sodium to around 2000mg per dayis a challenge and corned beef,bacon and prepared soups are way up on there on the sodium charts. The more processed foods you consume the more sodium you have to deal with. Cook your own food and you'll see the numbers come down considerably.

Maybe the problem I was having was installation. Today when I made an entry, after I checked the arithmetic, all the readings were correct! Success! And thank you for responding.
