so i basically ate 2/3 a whole bag of beef jerky. i thought it would be a bazillion calories but it was simply less than 300 for the whole bag of jack link's original beef jerky! im impressed haha. did anyone else know how low beef jerky was in calories? im amazed and i think i just found my new favorite food!!! :D

    haha, it may be low in cals, but you may want to think about the sodium content :P if you aren't watching sodium, then nm! hehe

    I regularly eat beef jerky as a snack. I love it. It is high in sodium though, so if I am not careful it will blow my sodium levels. I try to only have it as a snack on days when the rest of sodium intake is relatively low.

    I LOVE beef jerky and it's a great source of protein. Some people think they're gross, but you should try pork skins if you haven't already. Like zero carbs.

    I love it, but the sodium makes me avoid it.

    Plus, I have problems with my jaw, and if there's jerky in the house, I *will* eat the whole bag... then not be able to chew for a week. :sad:

    A way to control the sodium is to get a food dehydrator and make your own!!! I make chicken, turkey and beef jerky.
