i like beef jerky. i havent had it in months though. the great thing about it is it takes forever to eat and i dont have to cook it.
i was wondering if beef jerky a good idea to have daily, or is raw beef cooked better? or is it okay to have it daily?
to me it would be a good idea to have a fast lunch of beef jerky, raw veggies, and water. a big bag of beef jerky is resonably priced at walmart. the jumbo bag is even better.

Chichy,
I tried that for awhile but I got tired of all the chewing. I tried it because it was a good source of protein to snack on while in the car but remember it has a lot of sodium. I dont think I would count it as a meal but maybe a snack. Chelsea

I'm with chelsea on the sodium thing but it's great for a quick snack on the run. Too much salt to be a staple imo.

chelsea and ducky,
damn soduim,,, now what if i got a dehydrator and made my own beef jerky? then could it be a staple then. i can control the sodium, the cut of meat and marinating sause.

Yes. I have a dehydrator and have made jerky many times. Be carefull with the liquid smoke (high sodium). You've gotta get a little creative to make it come out tastey, Chic. Most of the traditional "jerky seasonings" out the are high in sodium. Even wostershire is gonna put you outta the ballpark. On the plus side, even using these marinades it's not gonna be nearly as high as the store bought sodium content.  That stuff is sooooo over processed it's not funny and they add tons of preservatives.
So I guess I'm saying even with the traditonal "jerky marinades" you'd still be better off than store bought.
If that made any sense. I know how serious you are about your diet though so wanted to warn you.
