Beef Jerky



Recommended Posts

Should I worry at all about the sodium in it?

You are right' date=' it is an awesome choice![/quote']

Do not worry about sodium. My nutritionist told me the only thing I need to watch is Protein and portion size for anything I eat.

Amazon.com sells jack's links beef Jerky and be sure you look at the nutritional value. Some of them are higher carb and less Protein. Some of them have at least 13 g of protein and very few carbs.

I just got the Jack Links in the mail from Amazon. Of course I can't eat it yet, but my hubs likes his low cal high Protein Snacks too. Being abroad we are limited to our selections. I love me some beef Jerky I will be happy when I can eat it again!

I Just bought a food dehydrated at Walmart for $25 and made my own Jerky. Used low sodium soy sauce and liquid smoke. Added a couple orange slices, chopped garlic, worstshire sauce and all sorts of spices. I bought a cheap cut of meat and sliced it about 1/4" thick strips and let it soak in the brine in my fridge for a day and a half. Then i placed it on the racks of my dehydrator and let it go for the day. I rotated the racks throughout the day so they would all dehydrate evenly. Oh, I forgot to mention, make sure you use paper towels to blot all the extra juice from your jerky before you put it in the dehydrator. I like to line a cookie sheet and then place the meat one it and use another bunch of paper towels to blot the extra juice off.

Trader Joe's has the best thick Jerky. Nice and chewy, not dry or shoe leathery. Plus you can get organic beef. YUM.

Krave is another brand. It's more like a shreded style? It's super easy to eat.

I do not like Jack Link's, Oberto, or the other grocery store brand I cannot think of the name right now.

I still make my own when Im in the mood but good store bought is a change of pace. To me I have gown up on homemade Jerky or basoically since I could walk. Most of the store bought to me is junk with all the adds, brown sugar, pineapple juice. Too me Jerky is salt, pepper and meat. But I learned on the ranch that we would chop up Jerky fine with a knife amd use it like snuff. What I do now is chunk it toss it in my Ninja and it comes out shredded, makes for a great traste treat, I also eat it whole but justa thought

@proudgrammy, I just eat a little bit. Maybe an ounce every other week or whenever the feeling hits. I try not to go overboard because of the sodium but it's good source of Protein and a nice change to my snack routine.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.

      Some days I feel like an infiltrator... I'm participating in society as a "thin" person. They have no idea that I haven't always been one of them! 🤣

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!
