There are so many hidden sources of salt in manufactured foods, including breakfast cereals, that salt free or low salt diets should be produced from pure natural ingredients. Any menu or recipe based on these ingredients can be used.
Salt should not be added in cooking or baking.
Raising agents should not be used - the problem is with the sodium ions from both the salt and sodium bicarbonate.

My dad has just been diagnosed with Chronic Heart Failure. He has been put on a 2000mg salt-free diet. I could use some help and or guidance in order to cook and combine healthy yet delicious meals for him. He is 85 years old and rather set in his ways. I have been using spices to give his meals some help but am at odds as what each item or how to calculate

You have to assume that purchased bread, cake, biscuits, breakfast cereals, pre-prepared meals, bacon and ham, sardines etc in brine, take-away meals, baked beans, and some cheeses all contain too much salt.
Start with fresh vegetables, fresh meat or fish, fresh fruit, cook rice without salt.
If you want to check the salt content (look at the figure for sodium) the following site is excellent:
