Reddit mentions: The best sardines

My husband has kidney disease and his doc limited him to less than 2,300 mg per day. I keep him below that and his kidneys have stopped declining.

Here are some things that I keep around that might help you with your uncle.

Here are some things we use a lot that might help.

• Emeril's Onion and Garlic Party Mix (combine with a container of lite sour cream 40 mg)
  
• Heinz no salt added ketchup
  
  
• no salt added sardines
  
  
• [Desert Pepper Peach Mango Salsa] (http://www.walmart.com/ip/Desert-Pepper-Peach-Mango-Salsa-16-oz-Pack-of-6/17769825)
  
  
• any unsalted tortilla chips or potato chips I just included a couple for example
  
  
• no salt added spaghetti sauce
  
• almost any pasta is low sodium (he could cook the pasta on his little stovetop thing then add the sauce to the noodles)
  
  
  
• Pretty much any beans from Eden Organic no salt added
  
  
• Old London All Natural Salt Free Whole Grain Melba Toast this works with the sardines
  
  
• [Ritz Hint of Salt Crackers] (http://www.walmart.com/ip/Nabisco-Ritz-Hint-of-Salt-Crackers-13.7-oz/25822520)
  
  
• no salt added canned tuna
  
  
• Crazy Richard's 100% Natural Chunky Peanut Butter
  
  
• Nu Salt
  
  
• Frosted Mini Wheats it's surprisingly low in sodium even though it's not labeled as a low sodium it's lower than those that are.
  
  These are a few of what I think of as my guy friendly foods. It keeps hubby from snacking on the really bad stuff. I would recommend going to the store and just filling up a box on your own instead of ordering them online since it's so expensive to order that way. You can find some version of these in almost any sizable grocery store and it will cost you far less to make a care package yourself. I just looked them up online in case you have to go that route, plus you'll know what the packaging looks like.
  
  On a side note if you need help with recipes or ideas just let me know. I think it's really wonderful that you are trying to help him. I hope you won't be too disappointed if he doesn't respond the way you would like. Being a hoarder sort of goes hand in hand with mental issues and a resistance to any kind of change no matter how small or important. I hope that he embraces some change and appreciates your effort.
  
  Edit: Online prices for these items are very pricey, that's why I suggested looking for them in the store. In our store the family size bags of Utz no salt potato chips run about $3 and there are always generic store versions. I included the online link so OP could see what they look like and perhaps find it cheaper.
  

Sounds like you got burned and are gun shy. But have you considered doing subscribe & save with cheap "filler" items? Like these ~$2 sardines? Sign up to get 1 or 2 boxes of soylent and then 3 or 4 tins of sardines. You get the %15 discount on the soylent and a couple of sardines (which are super healthy and taste great on crackers.).

Then even if you get an unwanted/unexpected shipment of soylent, the surprise bill is more like $60 instead of $600.

> Anti-oxidants are good at preventing harm, oxidation is what's harmful for your body.

No, that's not clear at all. I provided the link for a reason. Anti-oxidants have links with higher mortalities, cancer, and destroy the benefits of exercise.

> Sardines are super cheap most of the time (less than $1 a day for a can), they're also really good for you. You're not going to get 8g of fish oil and 22g of protein for much cheaper anywhere else.

OK, I admit I don't pay too much attention to sardine prices. I thought they were more like $3 a can. (Looking on Amazon, prices seem to be more like $2 a can.)

> I'm also not a huge fan of nubrain, I like smart powders for most of my stuff. The rest I get my uncle to buy from China super cheap of Alibaba because he deals in import/export.

Neither Alibaba nor Smart Powders do modafinil, though. I like SP too - for what they carry. (I like the idea of bulk buying on Alibaba, but really - what am I going to do with 30kg of piracetam?)

never considered that sandwich disgusting... try Kipper Snacks (you don't have to buy them on amazon, they're sold everywhere) you may enjoy the salty goodness as much as I do.

Amazon also has 6 for $15.88 (without subscribing) which isn't all that much more than $2.50 each, and if you have Amazon Prime the shipping is free.

I was expecting it to be at least a little off-putting in some way, like a flavor, texture, or visual appearance that would be more of an acquired taste. I'm not the most adventurous eater, though I've definitely had various types of liver pate, and I found it very appetizing and ended up finishing my first can in one sitting (although with some oil left in the bottom). This is the particular kind I tried: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B002147OIO

Canned Cod Liver, like this one:

https://www.amazon.com/King-Oscar-Liver-6-67-Ounces-Tins/dp/B002147OIO

Omega 3 and liver all in one can!

You can find them on Amazon

[I gotcha bro!] (http://www.amazon.com/Seamazz-Skinless-Boneless-Fillet-Ounce/dp/B00N383XCI/ref=sr_1_2_s_it?s=grocery&ie=UTF8&qid=1456847567&sr=1-2&keywords=swai)

Here is the mobile version of your link

I'm in Bagram right now trying to follow a somewhat paleo diet. I dont know where you're stationed but here are some of the things I like.

Breakfast - Whole eggs. Don't get the premixed shit because it has some kind of filler in it. Occasionally we get some high quality eggs here that are bright orange and taste great. Bacon is pretty much the only other choice. It's the shittiest quality bacon ever, but beggars can't be choosers.

All other chows - The hamburgers have soy filler. Every sauce that comes on meat has gluten. Get whatever is not breaded and scrape the sauce/gravy off. Get some salad with every meal. Get some hot vegetables.

Ordering shit - All that premade paleo shit is stupid expensive and not worth it. You are going to want a small stash of food for those IBA required days that you won't want to go to chow. I buy these sardines from Amazon http://www.amazon.com/Wild-Planet-Sardines-Virgin-4-375-Ounce/dp/B004VDH4KQ/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1348414298&sr=8-1&keywords=wild+sardines They are expensive but they are good. The other option is nuts.com. They have all kinds of delicious options like raw walnuts and unsweetened coconut chips. They also offer freeze dried vegetables that are expensive but hey, its shelf stable vegetables.

If you have your husband ship stuff, be mindful that the box WILL get fucked up and it WILL be exposed to long bouts of 100+ degree heat even in winter.
