Potassium is important, I eat a banana and some prunes most every day. I just started taking a potassium supplement as well. Thanks for the list!

Low-Calorie Potassium-Rich Foods (K:calories ratio)
You're welcome, Michael! I take Potassium Gluconate every day as well. Sometimes 1, sometimes upwards of 7. And still it's difficult to reach the 4,700 mg. suggested. But I'm slowly getting there, just not there yet.
Also, I've got my sodium under "limited control" to about less than 2,600 mg. daily. Not what "they" recommend, but what "they" recommend is darn near impossible to achieve. Thanks for prunes. I'll add it to the list! :) PS: Silly me! I forgot my bananas! I'll add that as well :D |
Avacado is another good one. Mary

Top Foods Highest in Potassium Lowest in Calories (K:calories ratio)
'Ricky' Avocado added. Thanks!
|
I was surprised to find that white beans have a lot - as does orange juice!
Clams also have a lot (I believe - 3 oz. has something like 120 cals and about 534 mg K) and I think tomatoes have a lot! |
Foods high in potassium (K:calories ratio)
You picked some good ones, Terri! But of course, tomatoes! :)
Now you can see where they fit on the list. It's difficult to believe that beans beat bananas, but they do! |
Thank you for doing this. I am printing off your list. I have to remember to get back on my V8 juice. It used to be a staple in my diet. Mary
|
Potassium to Calories Consumed Ratios (K:calories ratio)
You're very welcome, Mary! Check back occasionally because it WILL be updated until I'm satisfied that we've identified most foods with at least the bang per calorie of a banana.
Yeah, I've been drinking V8 juice every day for months now, but I only recently switched to the "low sodium". It's amazing stuff, and I love the taste of it as well. It's great late at night just before I eat a bowl of popcorn. The combination of the two is quite satisfying. |
Potassium Content of Foods (K:calories ratio)... and the winner is...
So the winner, at least for now, appears to be Swiss Chard. I just made some (organic). Boiled, no salt. It was good. Tasty enough plain, just boiled for 3 minutes. The problem is, it's a little work to be preparing this veggie just for the potassium content. And it's expensive for the amount you get after preparing.
That's why I prefer raw spinach added to my salads. So although chard tops the charts, I think spinach is the real winner here for anyone looking for a low calorie way to increase their potassium. Other easy ways to increase potassium levels are adding some fresh mushrooms to your iceberg lettuce salad, or placing some in with a tomato (whole grain) sandwich. Of course V8 is still high on my list. I eat a lot of frozen broccoli since I find it easier that slicing up the fresh, plus it lasts a long time. Cantaloupe is an excellent way to get more K, and it's reasonably priced. Of course raw carrots reign king when it comes to fiber, potassium, and magnesium. Dried apricots are good for long bike rides or hikes for not only the K, but for the natural carbs. Frozen peaches added to your banana-whey protein smoothie will add even more potassium. So, there ya go! Again, if I've omitted something or you have some other ideas/foods just let me know and I'll update this list! Cheers! NOTE: Banana is the cutoff. I'm not really interested in listing all the foods BELOW bananas, the ones listed are just for convenient reference. But I will and have listed everything I could find ABOVE bananas. |

It's been added to the list due to it's popularity. :) If you're looking at lower carbs and more fiber, an avocado would be the better choice around that ratio range, but nobody picks out fruit that way, do they? :D Keep 'em coming! The list can only get better. |
Vito, I must say that adding green tea, Niacin and potassium supplements to my daily intake has kicked my loses back up a notch. Averaging almost two pounds a week again. That includes a day here or there at the 2k level, and perhaps a couple equal to my calculated daily burn (2400). Not bad for being 16 months into this and not having gotten back into my daily exercise routine.
Thanks for sharing your research! Regards, Michael |

Thanks for sharing your research! Regards, Michael How awesome is that! And THANK YOU for the feedback! I've been "swearing" by this green tea for some time now. ALL the articles I've read say, as fact, that it helps with weight loss. The niacin is also a proven winner. I can't say that potassium 'aids' in weight loss, I haven't seen anything like that, but since it's such a key player in the physiology of energy it makes sense that it's going to affect loss in some indirect way. What are your totals these days for potassium? Have you been tracking the numbers? I am now EASILY getting around 5 K a day. Just eating a sweet potato with 1/4 teaspoon of "No Salt", along with 8 ounces of Low Sodium V8 is usually enough to put me over the top, along with the rest of my clean diet. Congratulations again on your weight loss! You are welcome to join the "5-15 Pound Club" now in the Men's forum! :) |

I know I tend to be high on sodium so I figure the potassium helps off-set that to some extent. I do have a banana most every day and four to eight prunes (I love them! Lots of fiber, too). But yes, I'm hooked on green tea. I still have my coffee in the morning, but it's green tea from then on. Tastes good and seems to have helped kick up my daily burn. Regards, Michael |
What are these two?
"Original No Salt" Na free alternative: Off the chart! 650 mg K and ZERO calories per 1/4 tsp. Beet Greens: 34.64 mg/cl [1524 mg K; 7 g fib; 9 g cb; 44 cl] Are beet greens the stalk and leaves above the beets? Do they actually sell those or do you have to buy it with beets? I had been eating swiss chard for potassium but it is hard to keep a constant supply of it as I have to eat a whole bundle a day and sometimes it is too big or small. Do they sell potassium supplements like they do multi vitamins? If so about what % of daily value per capsule? I finally put my multi vitamin into a custom food and the only things I need are vitamin A, potasium and magnesium but that is at 99%. The Vitamin A for my multi vitamin is 70% but Fitday shows it as less, not sure why. |
"Original No Salt" is my secret weapon! It's potassium salt, KCl. That's the brand name. I found it at Walmart where the regular salt is located. I call it a secret weapon because I can add 1/4 tsp of this to my Low Salt V8 juice (8 oz.) and wind up getting a whopping 1500 Mg. of potassium in a mere 50 calories. :D
I hear ya about "beet greens". Personally I've never seen them, but I haven't looked either. But they are listed in the database here. And yes, apparently they are the green part of the beet: Beet greens: http://www.all-creatures.org/recipes/images/i-beets.jpg Swiss chard is a pain. Too expensive, a pain to cook it down. I get a whopping 5 grams of potassium a day just by eating a sweet potato, frozen broccoli, a few bananas, and possibly some "No Salt" sprinkled on some foods. I've also switched to raw spinach salads. That's it, raw spinach and Newman's Own mild salsa (extremely low calorie and very low sodium). I used to do Potassium supplements, but now since I've changed my eating habits I don't need them any more. They are 99 mg. per tablet due to the government not wanting anyone to overdose if they accidentally take an entire bottle. Potassium in high levels all at once can stop your heart. If you start eating sweet potatoes you won't have any problem with your vitamin A at all either. As far as magnesium, very wise to be monitoring it. Do a tag search for magnesium and you'll find some tips on how to get more. |

Now I am still wondering why my custom food for my multi vitamin does not show up in the nutrition section (where all the RDA% vitamins and minerals are) properly. I put the food as 70% daily value for vitamin A like it says on the package but when I go to the nutrition tab I only get 34%.
And while your at it, go over that thread thoroughly.

My current diet I get about 30g of fiber from beans and a fiber cereal. I am not sure if there are different kinds of fiber or if I should get it from multiple sources thru out the day and not all at once or a lot at once (I get it at breakfast and lunch).
The difference between soluble and insoluble fiber | Healthy Answers | Natural Health News | | Healthy Answers How much should you get? This link is found on the above FAQ's thread: Daily Values (DVs) |
Thanks!
|
Vito, I'm confused by some of the red letter numbers ??? Would you please explain your numbers that are in red. Thanks:)
|
David,
The nutritional values in red are what percentage of that nutrient you have eaten. It's red until you get to 100% of the daily recommended values and then the color turns green. So you may show 68% in red for calcium and then eat a large spinach salad with broccoli and the next time you check the calcium reading could show 102% on green. I hope this helps. |
Potassium is an essential nutrient used to maintain fluid and electrolyte balance in the body.Potassium from natural food sources are considered safe and healthy.

Hi I'm new to this forum :)
Does anyone know the recommended daily banana allowance? I know they are rich in potassium but I fear I may be overloading on bananas. I have 10 a week: 2 a day...4 times a week 1 a day...twice a week And I miss a day on a Sunday when I have a big dinner and don't need one haha. The days which I eat two a day I do exercise vigorously and need them to energise me before a workout. I also eat a kiwi and an apple and a bunch of grapes every day as well as drink a high amount of milk (semi-skimmed) per day. Is this bad for me? |
Isn't coffee a good source of potassium also?
|
I've always been told to get my vitamins from food and not supplements. But getting enough potassium is crazy hard. Is there any reason to believe that a healthy person wouldn't absorb NoSalt as though it were a food source of potassium - assuming it were used with a meal, of course.

DIY - Aloevera Hair Conditioner
Hello everyone!!! All of us are aware about benefits of aloe vera. There are hundreds of products in the market that contain aloevera and claim to be beneficial for your skin and hair. No doubt, we have started seeing dedicated aloevera product range in various brands. Aloevera is a brilliant and a perfect conditioner for hair. I will share a natural hair conditioner with you today that will soothe your itchy scalp, get rid of dandruff and add shine to your hair.
So lets get started to make this : 1. Take juice of half a lemon in a bowl. 2. Add about 1/4th cup of aloevera juice to this. You can add or reduce the quantity depending on your hair length. This is enough for shoulder length hair. Since it is difficult to squeeze out aloevera gel from the leaf regularly, I prefer using an aloevera juice available in the market. 3. You can also add few drops of your favorite essential oil to this to get a great fragrance as well. 4. Mix all the ingredients well together. 5. Apply the mixture on your hair and keep it for 5 minutes. Then rinse off with water. The best part of this natural conditioner is that it won't make your hair greasy. It is very easy to make and takes little time. You can, in fact, keep a bottle of aloevera juice near the shower and just add lemon juice to it and your conditioner is ready. For an easy fix, you can mix the aloevera juice with your shampoo and wash your hair. You can also use the aloevera juice as a last rinse by diluting it with water and keeping it on hair for 2-3 mins and then washing it off. Regular use of aloevera will definitely give you trouble free hair. :o;) |
