I get 1,500 calories for the list without toppings for the potato or chips for the mashed avocado.

So over 50% of my daily calories would come from eating 2/3 of that list each and every day! Yes, there are other sources, many of which I have never heard of and most of which I have never eaten.

And we're to believe a government recommendation????
About 30 years ago, they inverted the food pyramid, putting carbs as a basic element and a huge part of the population got fat.
During the early COVID days they made all sorts of (poorly founded) recommendations that did not prevent the spread of the disease, seriously damaged the economy, deprived many people of their jobs, and set our school children back years.
We're supposed to trust them???
Wanna bet that Chiquita is behind the potassium recommendation?

Weird musings once again.

Better then drinking bleach?

We do a morning blended drink of banana, coconut water (600mg/c) spinach (170mg/c) and avocado (974mg med) and just mix in oranges or other fruits.That gets you about 2/3 of the way there. It tastes fine, is natural, isn't that filling and there are plenty of benefits outside of potassium.

I surely would NOT listen to anything our government has to say which is very badly broken and corrupt about anything and thats also including those deadly covid jabs......they are planning a new wave of covid and lockdowns again...........they dont know right from wrong............you do whats right for YOU

When I flew on large aircraft in the Air Force, I was routinely susceptible to air sickness. I was asked once, "Why do you always bring a banana when you fly? Is it because of the potassium?" My response was, "Because it always tastes the same going out as it did coming in." Lol!

SMSgt (RET)

Breakfast: a cup of yogurt with half a banana sliced into it, and half a cup of orange juice, and a 1/3 cup (dry) of oatmeal with a pat of butter instead of milk, unsweetened dried cranberries, and a teaspoon of molasses instead of sugar to sweeten it.

Morning snack - the other half of the banana.

Lunch: a field greens (spring mix) salad - 2 cups, with a handful of grape tomatoes or a small off-the-vine tomato, cut into chunks, a tablespoon of roasted unsalted sunflower seeds, a couple tablespoons of crumbled feta cheese, with fresh-made garlic tahini dressing made with tomato juice as the primary liquid instead of water. That'll be good for around 700 mg potassium, tons of vitamins, a little fat, protein, and other essential nutrients, low (but not zero) carb.

So - for dinner, have a 1/4 pound sirloin steak with just black pepper for the seasoning with a baked potato topped with shredded cheddar cheese, no sour cream, no butter, and spinach cooked with minced garlic and a touch of olive oil.

That is a LOT of food. It's also around 1200 calories, which is what the average healthy average sized average-everything person would have to maintain their average weight. It's also plenty of ALL nutrients.

For dessert, you could have around 40 pistachios (unsalted) to boost that potassium level even higher. That's just under an ounce.

Thanks. It looks like I was editing my post above at the same time you posted this.

"We're from the government and we're here to help"

Someone seems to be using a lot of Q-tips.

Bill Engvall (Redneck Comedy Tour) tells a similar story about when he flew with the Blue Angels...

He was told to eat "peanut butter" for the very same reason...;)

Easy
 

We just use potassium instead of salt in our water softener. We have had zero issues.
