    It depends on what time you go to bed. You should stop eating 2 hours before bedtime.
  • Although I love jerky's they tend to give me indigestion. That wouldn't be to good before bed for me. I wouldn't make it a regular thing myself. But that's me.

    Were you able to figure the calorie amount per Jerky stick? Reason I ask that is that I usually don't eat just one. Did I mention I like Jerky's? :wink:

    I have no idea why but I have just NEVER been able to get into it, not the slim jims, the jerkey none of it. I took a cautious bite of a meat stick once (ok, already a weird name for it), ew..

    Tasted jerky, ok ok, only a teensy tiny bite so maybe not enough to get a real feel for it. I just tasted salt... am I missing something? I've heard some say homemade is the only way to go and that it tastes much different than pkg'd?

    FC:heart:
  • I would think that would be a good choice of snack!

    I can buy a HUGE bag of jerky (and it is NOT cheap!) and my kids plow right through it - they LOVE jerky! My husband makes homemade every now and then too, and it is literally GONE within minutes. I figure it is a much better snack then a package of Oreo's, you know?
