    It's a good source of protein, low in fat, high in protein, low saturated fat. Although, lotsss of sodium!

    It's a great protein snack! Low in fat, high in protein, low saturated fat. The only downside is it has a lot of sodium.

    Make your own and sodium's not an issue... then it's just a great protein snack. :bigsmile:

    Too high in sodium for me. Sometimes I make my own so it isn't as bad with the sodium and preservatives.

    I'm having a love affair with Trader Joe's turkey jerky these days. It's low in calories, high in protein, takes a while to eat and the sodium is half (sometimes more!) than what you find in beef jerky.

    Now if only it weren't so expensive.

    (Making my own isn't an option. I would just screw it up. :smile:)

    It is good in moderation. Some of the most fit people in my Crossfit class eat it every day, and they are in amazing shape! It is a good source of protein.

    UM YES! Trader Joes Turkey Jerky is the best I have ever tasted. I've been eating it a lot lately, and so have other people at my trader joes because it's been out of stock two times I have gone! Booo
