@unaluna - A lot of days I do eat more sodium than recommended once it warms up because I walk most days and I sweat a ton. When I eat lower sodium then sodium and chloride always end up low on my bloodwork. Even my last bloodwork my chloride was right at the threshold for low and the sodium was a bit low (but not overly worrisome according to the doc). I think I lose a lot of it through sweat, and I did walk a long time yesterday, so I may also still be needing something of a catchup on calories. I walked probably 5 days this past week, so I maybe need to add a bit more calories as I believe you burn more calories walking in the heat & humidity, and it's definitely been getting much worse here as summer approaches. Maybe I need to start drinking Gatorade or Powerade after my walks.
