My dad was put on a really low sodium diet
Does kosher meat/chicken absorb the sodium when it is salted

Yes, it does, which is why some non kosher people prefer kosher meat and poultry -- it tastes better. Your dad should ask his physician if he needs to cut out fleishiks entirely or if there's a maximum quantity he can have. Usually kosher-observant people on low sodium are ok with fleish a few times a week, but some on extremely low-sodium diets have to give it up.

My late mother was on a low sodium diet and she was told by the dietitian to soak meat before cooking, changing the water several times. You’re better off keeping the portions small.

Check the labels and look for cans of salt free tuna. Otherwise that also should be soaked.

Garlic and lemon go a long way to make up for the lack of sodium. Go heavier on the spices and salt free won’t be flavour free!

Yes, soaking. When I cooked for my father and his father, a"h, I soaked the chicken and meat.

I’m guessing ground beef and ground chicken are out of the question.

He needs to eat at least 2000calories
No more than 1500mg of sodium
No more than 200g total carbs with 0 sugar
Limited liquids to no more than 1liter a day
Also he needs to up his protein. Wasn’t told how much

He drinks 2 protein ensures a day, 8oz each
Each has 250mg of sodium already

These recommendations are for a short term and can change

Can I trust the nutrients fact label on Empire Chicken and Aaron’s Ground beef
How accurate is that

My father had this problem but needed high iron. Some butchers can do ground meat that isn't too salty, I don't remember how.
