One of the ironies I've found is that when a food is labeled as "Low Fat", that it generally also means "Higher in Sodium". Odd, but true.
I guess that they have to add salt to make up for the flavor lost in the fats.
Always, always check the Nutritional Guide information on the food's label, or their website.
Most of the national restaurant and fast food chains have Nutritional Information for their menu items.
I've found that it's easier for me to make the right choice at the restaurant (or the drive up window), if I have already chosen the low sodium offering long before going to the location. I've even added some of the selections to my cell phone, so if a friend decides to suddenly go to a popular restaurant, I have my meal selection handy.
