    Great!! Love the Hot Pepper Jerky.... The less sugar and the more Capsaicin the better it is! :bigsmile:

    I love jerky but only eat wild bills. It is the only jerky that I like. Gotta portion it out though or I will eat the whole bag. I want to try alton brown's recipe. it looks similar to wild bills. He makes it without a dehydrator. Uses furnace filters and a box fan.

    I love beef jerky. Both the sort of cruddy stuff, like Slim Jim, and the real stuff. The jerky at my local meat market is addictive. The sodium is a draw back, but it fills me up as well as a cupcake and I adore it, always have. When we get our own place I plan on making my own. My friend does, and it is also good. I say love it in moderation, I guess like everything else.

    I've been wanting to try making my own! It's a great snack to carry when I'm hiking.

    LOVE it and don't tend to worry about my sodium, but the thing that stops me eating it all the time is the PRICE!! It's so cheap in the USA, over here it's like $4.50 for 25g. That's $180 a kg (approx $81 a lb, for the Americans ;))

    Hi all,

    Just discovered a delicious and low fat snack - beef jerky! Does anyone here eat it? I really like the Wild West Honey BBQ one.

    One 25g serving has only 0.85g of fat (1.2% RDA), 10.3g of carbs (3.8% RDA) and only 78.5 kcal (3.9% RDA) - but a massive 7.5g of protein (15%)! Perfect for those on the Dukan.

    I think the only downside to having this everyday as a snack is the levels of salt/sodium...

    What do you guys think....?

    If you like Jerkey you might liked dried Squid! Look for it at any Asian Mkt.
    Look one small pkge up on MFP "Squid Shreds Hot"
    High in Protein, 0 fat.
    I only wish it had less sugar, it's Ocean Jerkey! :bigsmile: :tongue: :laugh:
