[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Sauces, proteins and sides are already prepared in large batches before you come, OP. It’s amazing you and your husband don’t know this. Restaurant cannot reduce salt for you, [/quote]

I'm questioning what makes it so hard to get two fried eggs with no salt on them. These eggs are not cracked and salted in advance.[/quote]

Ah, that kind of customized food. The griddle is already full of melted salt and butter, OP.  agree with PP that if you don't eat salty at home, any increased salt intake will really stand out to you. I don't eat salty usually, to keep my blood pressure in check, and every time I have a processed snack, or eat restaurant food, the salt content hits me like a ton of bricks. There are some foods I just can't tolerate anymore, because they seem so salty now.

+1  It will be hard, OP, but you will need to make dramatic changes in your ordering patterns when you are in a restaurant.  Any item that is cooked on a grill will need to be off limits to you because that's where it is picking up residual sodium.  And even foods in their own pots, like perhaps risotto, should be out because of what's added in (like grated parmesan cheese).  A savvy cook or chef will ask about the cheese, but most line staff will just keep on with the regular prep.

I, too, eat foods cooked at home with no added salt.  When I go out to eat in a restaurant, which we do frequently, I notice that everything seems over-salted...but that's because I eat no salt so, of course, everything seems over-salted.[/quote]
