You don't need nearly 30 pills, even with a poor diet. Almost all foods, even junk foods, have some amount of potassium. Per 100g (3.5oz), a random sampling from my typical snacks, lunches and breakfasts:
chicken breast 223mg
cooked white rice 35mg
cooked pasta 24mg
1 large egg 69mg
whole milk 132mg
apple 107mg
bagel 165mg
almonds 705mg
banana 358mg
Miss Vickie's Sea Salt & Vinegar Flavored Potato Chips 1260mg
Potato chips are high in potassium and have a close to ideal 2:1 ratio of potassium to sodium. Superfood!

- SirMaster 3y agoLol why potato chips? Why not just potatoes? I eat potatoes most days, usually just boiled, sometimes baked to help get more potassium.
