Due to heart problems, I am on a low sodium low fat diet. I am not overweight, but limit my fat calories to less than 30% of total calories consumed per day. My sodium limit is 2000mg per day (about one teaspoon). I love to prep vegetables. So My foods tend to be sauces and sautes. I love carbs. I eat a lot of pasta and whole grains. casseroles. Risotto. Trying to de-salt my Cincinatti style chili recipe is a work in process. First try- failure - too bitter.
