Salty but Healthy Foods
What are the saltiest, but healthy foods you can think of? I really need more salt in my diet, but don't want to eat anything with too many calories or with too many carbs. I ate a can of salted almonds over 2 days, which I'm thinking is too high in calories. Plus, it only provided 12% of an average person's sodium needs per day and I think I need more than average.

What about putting more salt on your veggies.... I love salt and pepper on my tomatoes.
Mhmm...salt and pepper on my tomatoes, cucumbers, even raw squash. Green olives are good and salty, not sure about the nutritional value in the rest of the olive though.
If you eat salads, make your own dressing(s) and salt liberally. If you eat dairy, some cheeses like romano and feta are pretty salty (also good in salads and tossed with veggies). Brine things like chicken, turkey, pork loin in a salt solution - this makes the meats very tender and moist. A lot of recipes for brine include tons of sugar but I find the salt only + some spices is great; no need for sugar.
Air popped corn and white potatoes taste like cardboard and usually need a good dusting of salt
I'd get a good quality salt, too. I don't know what grocery stores you have access to, but usually you can find a nice sea salt even in regular supermarkets. TJ's has Himalayan Pink salt in a grinder for $2. You might as well get some of the trace minerals that come with a better salt.
We buy these in bulk at the Farmer's Market:

They're not excessively salty, but they make a great snack food.
Sea vegetables?
Kelp?
Nori?
&c.
Ocean anything.
Also, anecdotal evidence suggests that nuts can impede weight-loss. Salted seeds (brazil, sunflower) can be better snacks.
This! Edamame with sea salt, natural peanut butter and soups are my main salt sources.
