I love beef jerky :)

For a long time, I couldn't do beef jerky because I couldn't get it chewed to the right consistency. Lately, I can do it and now, I love it. The other day though, had a full serving (in two seatings -some as a snack and some with lunch) and the sodium made my fingers swell up and my rings feel tight! Had to be that because nothing else changed in my diet. I'm going to continue to eat occasionally but I'm going to have to watch it due to high sodium.

Sounds yummy! Right about now anything might sound good though still 1 week left of liquids only :( and my liquids does not consist of soups and jello and stuff my drs liquid phase is liquids under 5 calories or protein drinks and that's it lol

So I bought my first bag of beef jerky! It wasn't I bad. Kinda hard and chewy but its a great snack food. I didn't know about checking sugar content. What brands do you buy?

Hello

I bought the turkey sticks..they are a lot softer and very easy to digest and its not bad on the sugar and salt content. They are called Old Wisonsin Turkey Sticks.

The fitness nutrition store where my husband buys all his workout supplements has 'Ostrich' sticks. Absolutely delicious! I find them to be a little more moist and less chewy than turkey sticks. I'll get the brand name next time we go in.

The ostrich sticks are called OSTRIM, they come in different flavored such as peppered, teriyaki and original. I know the vitamin shop sells them I usually by them by the box of 10 for about $14.

Im still keeping everything moist at the point Im at.

Doesn't bother me, cuz I chew everything to mush anyhow! Gets plenty moist! ;) I LOVE jerky!

I found these teriyaki tender bites at Walmart that is 10grams protein for 3 small pieces. I've tolerated these well and it's helped me make sure I've reach my protein quota without a couple shakes a day. The brand is called Jack links and i got the tender bites.

What does anybody think about cheese? I have been eating it because I can tolerate it and I get my protein in

LOVE these! We've been buying them for a couple of years. :-)

My father in law makes venison jerkey with the deer we harvest every year. I will have to get extra this year.

Love Jerky, eat allot of it now. After hunting season i will have elk and buffalo jerky to munch on.
