If you go to your home page and click on "change Diet Goals". There is a page that lets you trackthe sodium in your foods. It also gives you a recommendation.

Kinda interesting how fast it builts up.

I am not quite sure, but I think it depends per person. I know that I shouldn't eat any more than 2400mg of sodium per day. Too much sodium makes you retain water, which can make you weigh more. I have decided to track the sodium I consume through the nutrient tracker. I have noticed that most packaged foods contain very high levels of sodium.

Yes, you do not want to be eating more than about 3 grams of salt a day. The easiest way to accomplish that is stay away from canned and processed foods, example- deli ham and tuna fish. However, if deli ham and tunafish are going to start replacing what once was a hamburger and frys, then eat them. If you don't already have heart disease, you should watch your sodium, but you are better off being in your target weight range.

Now that I am a label reader, I see some foods have a lot higher sodium(I assume this is salt) in them. Is there a "safe" of target range you want to be watching for?
