I have become quite convinced it's impossible to get enough potassium. According to Dietpower, I never get even close to enough potassium! I eat my spinach; what do you want from me?<br><br>
"the official Adequate Intake of 4700 milligrams"<br><br>
I eat fruits, vegetables, etc... but I never seem to get near it!<br>
3068 yesterday... and all my other vitamins and minerals were way over from the vegetables and fruit.<br><br>
"The Daily Value for potassium is 3500 milligrams. (Why so much lower than the Adequate Intake? Because Daily Values are still based on the RDAs of 1968, when the government thought people needed less of that nutrient.) Daily Values aren't necessarily right for you, however—they are rough estimates meant to cover most of the U.S. population."<br><br>
I didn't even reach 1968 standards yesterday!<br><br>
Does anybody track this and do you get enough potassium, and if so, how?
