the daily recommended intake of potassium for an adult is 4700mg Is anyone here getting that from their diet?
thats 10 bananas a day or 10 potatoes
It's basically impossible without supplementation. I drink glass of water with 1/2 teaspoon of LiteSalt twice per day (it's half sodium, half potassium), add pure sea salt to my food, and take a magnesium supp at night to keep me electrolytes optimum.

>10 nanners/taters a day
>on a cut
literally how
>>36118752
Nah, shits hard to do. I do drink 1-2 cups of low sodium v8 (900-1800mg) and have a cup of OJ (400mg) so I should be getting at least 3g+ a day with a regular diet.
>>36118752
I have a bag of Potassium Citrate 270mg yields 99mg elemental K
I take around 1,500mg of the citrate a few times a day which isn't even giving me 1gram.. I get some from food like coconut water and avocado.. but I sppoked myseld reading about dying from too much K and so am reluctant to scoop out enough to say give me four doses of 1,000 mg elemental K in 24 hrs..
but I am gradually increasing to see how much I can take before I stop my heart beating..

Avocados have more potassium than bananas.
You can also buy a salt substitute that has potassium in it. It's excellent in Powerade Zero, I always add a big pinch to mine. Dunno how it tastes on food.
>>36118752
This is my nightmare micro to hit.
That's why I eat like 400 grams of sweet potatoes a day.
They're more K rich than bananas.
>>36118826
Fuck, i eat only 2 nanners a day...
>>36118752
easy as fuck when u eat beans and tomato sauce
Celery? Fuck if i know
Drink coconut water. Not enough sugar to spike insulin and more K than a banana.
>>36118752
>the daily recommended intake of potassium for an adult is 4700mg
>implying you need 4700mg of potassium a day
Daily reminder that this standard was set this high to compensate for the incredible amount of salt people put in their food, potassium having a reverse effect of sodium. If you have a normal consumption of salt (aka 1/7 the average amount), then you need a much lower intake of potassium (1/7 of 4700mg).
Basic rule is your intake of sodium and potassium should be compensating themselves.
>>36119820
nanners haha
>>36118752
>no
You people are fucking hopeless, getting your recommended daily intake of anything is easy when you eat enough greens
>>36119941
Jesus, I just realised that kidney beans are incredible fucking food. I usually eat a can every other day, but I didn't realize just how amazing they are.
>>36118944
>It's basically impossible without supplementation
You just have a shitty diet. I get over 7000mg from food. Eat some fucking beans and vegetables once in a while.
>>36120073
the guy who made that picture should be shot dead. What the fuck is going on there?
>>36120146
>can
Never gonna make it,
Learn to fucking boil beans
>>36119663
Sweet potatoes are the GOAT carb
Oats and quinoa come in second

Lentils.

>he thinks he needs potassium
>>36120241
The problem is that the screenshot lacks all kinds of information. "Cals"? Cals per what? DRI of what? I assume potassium, but why doesn't it say so? Also again what amount?
Shit like that just triggers me. I work in science and when I see a graph without labels or a table of numbers without units I feel the urge to kill the person responsible, even if it's obvious from the context. It's pretty simple to just fucking type in "Energy [kcal]" and "Kalium content / DRI" or something instead of those vague shitty captions. That's just the stuff you should learn in school and if they don't for whatever reason, I don't trust the source.

You have a dangerously low IQ and should stop posting til you understand what you're reading.
>>36120354
I know that it's probably about potassium per 100g, but it should be standard that you don't label your tables like a retarded high schooler.
>>36120400
>I know that it's probably about potassium per 100g, but it should be standard that you don't label your tables like a retarded high schooler.
I'm pretty sure this is covered in high school, you must've been off that day or you'd understand why you're retarded.

If you genuinely work in science I fear for humanity.
>>36120230
What's the secret behind boiling beans?
>>36120457
It's pretty obvious that you certainly don't work in science, otherwise you'd understand.
>>36120283
>>36120400
>>36120484
I'm going to assume you're trolling in a very subtle way for no fathomable reason, my brain can't handle someone genuinely being this stupid in the morning
>>36120400
39 37
Looks like you need a little help, I would understand the graph as (taking the 1st line as a representative) 39 calories of beer greens has 37% of the DRI of potassium, hope this helps
>>36120504
>>36120520
Jesus, you guys are retarded.
>>36120146
muh nigga
>>36120283
>>36120400
>>36120484
>>36120568
They're right, you're trolling or actually retarded.
39 cals from Beet Greens give 37% of your DRI. 37% of your DRI of Potassium from Beet Greens contains 39 calories. All the information you need is there and everything is labelled.
Two people have already explained it to you and you're pretending to not understand. The "math" couldn't be any simpler. Get a job.
>>36120654
It's not even about math. Learn to read.
>>36118826
Only if they potatoes are tiny, 1 medium sized potato contains approximately 1 gram of potassium
>>36120678
That explains exactly what you outlined here
>"Cals"? Cals per what? DRI of what? I assume potassium, but why doesn't it say so? Also again what amount?
You pretend to not understand here:
>I know that it's probably about potassium per 100g
It's explained for you another 2 times here and here:
>>36120520
>>36120654
You're a discredit to shitposters and trolls or on a level of stupidity hitherto unseen.
>>36118752
Why do people tell me eating more than 2 bananas at a time is too much potasium ? Even my mum who is a nurse thinks its true ffs
>>36120244
ok, try eating fucking 200g of raw lentils daily
cooked that's like 600-700g
The graph isn't per 100g it's per whatever serving size the guy decided would be a reasonable portion of that type of food. So yes calories= percentages
>>36118944
>>36119022
cba to quote the other but then i bet you bash vegans for "unnatural" cus b12 supplementation is needed unless you live near unsanatised water and grow your own veg.
>>36120716
im a student para and i was eating a bunch of nanners and paramedics were telling me to be careful not to overdose on potassium
>>36120400
Nope, I scrolled down and the serving sizes are not the same, though most of them are per 1 cup.
>>36119820
me too man, if I eat more than two I start to fart like a monster truck exhaust pipe
>>36121897
You're looking at a second expansive table which includes weights/volumes/measures.
That guy is specifically shitposting about the first table which purposefully doesn't include or reference weight/volume.
>>36120027
This
Reminds me of why the only reason people need omega 3 supplementation is also due to shit diet, and by that I don't mean not eating enough fish
>>36118752
i'm on a psmf.
what is absolute minimum amount of potassium I should having?
I eat like 4 servings of green vegetables a day, but it's hard to get more potassium.
I use potassium salt for my chicken.
>>36120230
why?
>>36120244
wtf, the green ones are mung beans, not lentils.
delicious too though.
