About 3/4 of a tsp is supposed to be recommended daily amount if you have been told to watch your intake.

Remember to include other salt/sodium in the calculation....canned foods, packaged foods, snack foods, crackers, cheeses, pickles, desserts, etc. You always have to read labels. Restaurant/take out food is another huge source of salt. Generally speaking, it's loaded! If salt removal is done gradually, it won't be missed and you will soon find that prepared (restaurant/take out) food is waaaay too salty.
Hint: Remove the salt shaker from the table.

They do tell us to watch our salt intake nowadays don't they. My father in law used to use loads of salt on his meals, he said it was good for you, he used to put it on a cut to heal it as well. There must have been some truth in what he said ,it didn't do him any harm, he lived to 94 years, and it was only the last couple of years that he struggled to get around.

Ask the doctor for recommended milligrams per day and, like Ducky reminded you, salt content in many foods may be enough. Setting aside a quantity of salt isn't regulating intake. It's a control tactic. Just get rid of any evidence of salt. Get a salt substitute, use Mrs. Dash and other seasonings/spices instead.
