New Food For Me

I pretty much stay with my plain protein and a bit of vegie. Today at the market, I bought some beef jerky. Oh my is it good! Lots of protein in a small amount of meat. Very filling as well. With beef jerky and Wendy's chili, I feel like a real person when I eat. Not that I ate them together.

I also tried beef jerky. It was delicious. Only thing though, it has allot of salt. Are you worried about that?

The one I bought is called "Steakhouse Tenders" with 4 oz to the package. 1 oz has: 80 cal 10 mg Cholesterol 360 mg Sodium 4 g carbs 4 g sugar 14 g protein I did not compare with other brands, so have no idea of sodium in each brand. Is 360 mg a lot?

Congrats on your discovery Marla. I too use the beef jerky. I keep a package in the glove box of my car at all times. Because I had a incident of being out at a funeral with absolutely no edible food for me to eat and being raised accordingly could not bring myself to leave to get something to eat. Talk about a protein day from He double hockey sticks I felt awful. So after that beef jerky stays with me. I really like the jerky bits there are more tender. Haven't brought myself to try the turkey jerky. Kinda out there for me. I don't have high blood pressure so I'm not to concerned about the salt considering it's only 1-3 oz I will eat. But I just increase my water intake if needed. Continued success Jackie
