3. Filet-o-Fish (no tartar sauce)
Compared with other items on the McDonald’s menu, the Filet-o-Fish is relatively low in sodium.
In fact, if you order it without the tartar sauce, it contains 470 mg of sodium — a fraction of the amount found in many other menu items. To cut back even further, skip the cheese to bring the amount of sodium in each serving to 370 mg.
It also contains a good chunk of protein — 14 grams — plus several important minerals like iron and potassium.
4. McChicken (no mayonnaise)
The McChicken is another option that’s lower in sodium than many other items offered by McDonald’s.
If ordered as is, it contains about 560 mg of sodium per serving. If you ask for a sandwich without mayonnaise, you can cut the amount of sodium to 500 mg.
In addition to being lower in sodium than many other options, the McChicken contains some protein and is relatively low in calories — especially if you skip the mayonnaise.
