Be sure to eat other lower-sodium foods throughout the day. Tip Two sandwich halves may easily fit into your personal meal plan. If eating both halves is going to put you way above your carb, sodium and other nutrient limits, however, wrap up one of the halves and save it for another meal or snack.
