Potassium

Cubit said:

I bought some Morton lite salt. I'm a bit frustrated that Morton mixes the
potassium salt 50/50 with regular salt, but it is still a much better source
than potassium tablets.

Morton also sells Salt Substitute which is 100% KCl. If your store
doesn't normally carry it, try asking the manager to special order
some for you.

The product Nu-Salt can also be used, it has a slightly higher yield of
potassium chloride per gram than does Morton's Salt Substitute (53% vs
51%). The daily value of potassium is about 3500 miligrams, equivalent
to roughly a rounded teaspoon of either product.

After a recent brief uptick in calories, I studied my Fitday data and made a
list of everything I had recently changed. There were about ten areas of
change. However, the one interesting thing, that seemed to stand out, was
my potassium intake, which had dropped to about 15% of the Daily Value for
about a week.

Has anyone seen an influence on appetite from potassium content?

Note: My Fitday data is incomplete, since my custom items, like low carb ice
cream, do not include potassium data. Potassium is not on the nutrition
label.

My last two blood tests had shown that my potassium level was dropping, but
the numbers were still within the normal range.

Robo Challenge seems to have not picked up my data from recent posts.

Try Morton Salt Substitute -- contains no sodium chloride. One serving
of 1/4 teaspoon give you 17% DV (based on 2000 calorie diet) of
potassium.

The No-salt version tends to be several times as expensive as the
half sodium half potassium Lite version, so I keep the Lite on hand.

We tried a no-salt variant once, and noticed the list of chemicals
(thankfully) before using it. The Morton lite salt uses natural salts
instead of chemicals to balance the flavor. As a bonus, the other
salts have calcium and magnesium in them, which helps my son's muscle
cramps.

"Natural salts" aren't chemicals??

I bought some: "NoSalt"

Thanks to everyone who suggested options on this. I switched to another
supermarket and found the choices of potassium salts.

I use that too. Just don't add it to food before cooking. Heating it for
any length of time can result in a metallic taste. I always add it after I
take the food off the heat.
