Bill is a 45-year-old bachelor who eats a grab-and-go breakfast, all his lunches out, and has take-out or something easy for dinner. Bill's doctor is concerned that his blood pressure is progressively rising with every office visit and has advised him to "cut out the salt" to lower his sodium intake. Bill rarely uses a salt shaker for salt and is unsure what else he can do to reduce his sodium intake. A typical day's intake is as follows: Breakfast: Black coffee, two jelly doughnuts Midmorning snack: Black coffee, cookies Lunch: Two fast-food tacos with tortilla chips and salsa or a 6-inch cold-cut submarine sandwich with potato chips and a cola Midafternoon snack: candy bar Dinner: If take-out, then Chinese food or pizza; if "something easy," then boxed macaroni and cheese with a couple of hot dogs, canned soup with a cold-cut sandwich, or frozen TV dinner Dessert: Instant pudding or ice cream, or candy bar Evening snack: Cereal with milk or potato chips and dip What foods may contribute to high sodium levels in his diet?
