                                While a plain hamburger might seem like a simple meal, a large one can contain nearly 500mg of sodium, roughly 21% of the daily recommended intake. This surprising amount of sodium does a plain hamburger have is a result of salt added during processing and the preparation of the bun, not just table salt.
