Also, if you're going out to eat, check nutritional content ahead of time. MOST (not all) places post menu nutritional info on-line so you can plan meal accordingly.
It's actually not that bad. Been on a low sodium diet (Less than 1500mg daily) for almost a year. Sucked at first, but after about 6 months got used to it and know what I can and can't eat now.

A lot of it depends on the type of meat. Can't be anything pre-frozen. I generally prefer sweeter marinades, so that doesn't make chicken or fish too bad, but if I'm grilling a steak I want to put Lawry's on it.
The biggest issue, IMO, is having a diverse enough set of food to eat and not get bored with choices.
