I don’t know if you mean that 3oz sounds high or low. It certainly sounds like a normal serving size to me. I normally aim for about 7oz per meal if I’m having pork, but I’m pretty sure that’s on the high end. Even then, it’s just a little over 100mg of sodium. I’ve seen the recommended minimum daily sodium for healthy adults to range anywhere between 500mg and 2000mg depending on the source.
And yes, I do mean it breaks up into sodium and chlorine. It makes sense to talk about “salt concentration” in the context of salt dissolved in distilled water, but less so when you have so many other things in solution because there’s no straightforward way (to the best of my knowledge, but I’m also no chemist) to map from dissolved ions to the molecules they would’ve been a part of.
yeah but like, who eats 3 oz of pork at a time.
what do you mean salt separates in solution? you’re not saying it breaks up into sodium and chlorine?

I mean, individual burger patties start at 8 ounces, and people regularly stack them or eat more than one burger
Damn that’s huge. In these parts, a quarter pounder is considered large. You’ll only see 8oz patties when you go to fancier restaurants.
