Adding the total sodium consumed for the day and set goals (mg & %)

Would you consider adding the total sodium consumed for the day, as well as the percentage of sodium consumed, based on recommendations by the American Heart Association, based on the calories consumed, real time.  I think this would be very beneficial to Fitbit users.

This is necessary for anyone with hypertension. Manually counting how much sodium intake will save lives. If it's not there, I'll be adding one for potassium intake, as it offsets sodium intake

Salt management is a very important element of BP control and is the primary target for reduction. It should be added to the list of Protein, Fat, and Carbs. In order to manage something we must be able to measure it. In addition, I would mention that the Food list lacks sufficient detail to be useful. I appreciate improving the status of the food algorithm will be a big job but in my view very worthwhile.

Cheers
