[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm trying to cut back on sodium for health reasons. When DH or I try to say "no salt" or "Please don't add any salt if possible," it often doesn't seem to register OR they add EXTRA salt. I'm talking about food prep that actually involves adding salt during cooking, like breakfast burritos, egg scrambles, stirfry, etc, not already made food like soup.

What phrase or explanation have you used to get consistently less salty dishes from restaurants? [/quote]You might like mealkiting, OP.  They do the shopping, portioning, chopping, sous chefing and all you do is saute and bake or peel the wrapper and bake or drop in boiling water.  You can omit the salt or put it on the side.  Minimal dishes/cleanup.  Also consider eating at health speciality restaurants such as [url]https://greenfare.com/[/url][/quote]

Thanks, I’ve never done mealkits because I don’t like the idea of plastic waste. But maybe I will look into it. I do cook a lot at home but I get burned out. There’s a local coop grocery store I’ve been buying from and they offer salad bowls, sandwiches, etc in their fresh foods case and those aren’t too salty.

I do admit I’d like to be able to get a good breakfast burrito that I don’t cook myself that’s not inedible salty. PPs are right that restaurant food tastes salty to me because I’m not used to eating that much salt. I hadn’t considered food picking up residual salt! That makes sense. [/quote]
