    Good, so if you divide the jerky into 4 equal portions each one should be about 1 oz.

    1 oz = 1/8c or 2 tbsp. Not a lot to play with, but its not suppose to be a meal...

    thats a liquid oz though, right? is that different than a weight ounce?

    Edit: I just googled it. Fluid ounces are not interchangeable with an ounce of weight.

    1 oz is approximately the size of a slice of American Cheese. Saw this on another blog somewhere and just verified on a kitchen scale.

    Was this your first post? Necroing an ancient thread?

    Me, too, @pjohns9770. I can never find old threads when I want to.

    I agree. The search function here is awful! I think a lot of the zombie bumps come from external searches that return results from these forums. Something good to remember when deciding how much info to share here ;)

    search engine found it. I dont understand why those other people have to be insulting. I thought my response could help somebody. What difference does it make how old it is

    Like you just Googled "how many pieces of jerky in one ounce" and got this thread?

    Did you already have a MyFitnessPal account?

    If you didn't, did you have to create an account to type an answer in the thread?

    Sorry for all the questions. Truly curious.

    I'm just wondering what happens if someone doesn't already have an MFP account. It sounds like @pjohns9770 already did.

    Depends on the site. Google will usually give you results from most sites whether you have an account or not, but sites that require you to log in to search sometimes block Google. I think MFP is open to everybody for searching.

    I'm glad he resuscitated the thread because now I know how much 1 oz of beef jerky is. And yes that was my internet search query!

    That's interesting. A slice of my cheddar weighs in at 0.5 oz on my scale. Then again, I always ask them to slice it thin.

    Back on topic, the beef jerky I buy (or have ever bought) is always cur in different sized pieces. They only weigh the bag for total saleable wt.

    If you need to eat only 1 oz or want to know exxactly what the wt of a,specific diece is, just buy/use a cheap digital scale to weigh each oiece b4 you eat it.

    I make my own and then weigh it piece by piece as I eat it, since they’re all different. Got a new batch going in the dehydrator this morning. Homemade beats store bought hands down. Am experimenting with adding a little pineapple juice for sweetness this time. The last batch was awesome, except I forget it and it got hard as a rock. Not always a bad thing when you’re trying not to scarf a whole bunch down at once!

    I actually just typed into Google house many ounces in a piece of beef Jerky and found this thread. The piece of cheese answer was perfect!

    Thanks
