    Surprisingly, it actually is.

    Obviously depending on the brand, but beef jerky is low in carbs and fat but high in protein.

    I make my own and it freaks me out that I can eat like 5 pounds of meat in an hour in jerky format.

    It is healthy! Beef jerky is high in protein and relatively low in calories. It also contains good minerals like Iron and Zinc! Watch out for the fat content in it though.

    If you're anything like me, you can eat an entire bag of beef jerky in, say....30 seconds :laugh:

    Totally agree. It's easy to get carried away with jerky -- any jerky. My brother makes venison jerky. Mmmmmm... Makes me want to go hunting.

    Jerky is awesome, still personally, I have a problem with sodium so can't overindulge.

    Depends on it, when you buy it premade from a store it can contain additives which are not so healthy, like sugar. I have made the myself in the past, quite easy to do.

    Why is that not healthy? :noway:
