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.

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

        I had about 6 months between deciding to do surgery and getting scheduled. I came across the book The Pound of Cure by Dr. Matthew Weiner, a bariatric surgeon in Arizona, and started to implement some of the changes he recommended (and lost 13 lbs in the process without ever feeling deprived). The book is very simple, and the focus is on whole, plant based foods, but within reason. It's not an all or nothing approach, or going vegan or something, but focuses on improvement and aiming for getting it right 80-90% of the time. His suggestions are divided into 12 sections that you can tackle over time, perhaps one per month for a year if a person is just trying to improve nutrition and build good habits. They range from things like cutting out artificial sweetener or eating more beans to eating a pound of vegetables per day. I found it really effective pre-surgery and it's an eating style I will be working to get back to as I am further out from surgery and have more capacity. Small changes you can sustain will do the most for building good habits for life.

        That sounds awesome. I'll have to check that out thanks!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
