My favorite protein snack is Marlin fish jerky.  It is so so good.  I eat the onion pepper flavor one.  In 1.5 oz the calories is 160 and the protein is 36g.  I can just eat this 2X a day and I get all my protein in.  "AWESOME" I am just tired of protein shakes to get all the protein in and this I just keep it in my drawer or purse.

Happy eating.

I hear ya! I love, love, LOVE my jerky, too!!! The marlin is SO good, too!! But, in a pinch, when I can't find any good local stuff, I go with the beef teri kind until I can get more fish.

I think I like all the chewing the best. Makes me feel like I am eating so much when in reality I only have a tiny bite!

First does it taste like raw fish?  if not, where do I get it.  Since my second surgery my appetite has decreased and I'm not getting as much protien as I did before.
The greatest use of life is to spend it for something that will outlast it.

Jerky has that much protein?  I'm in!  Of course, that would be after I finish the liquids and soft foods stage!

Well you found me on the Hawaii board Francis.  You are too cute.  No it don't taste like raw fish at all.  It was raw that was dried.  Its fish jerky.  It is so ono! (Taste so good).

See you on the lightweight board.

Jerkey is meat whether it be fish, bovine, or fowl... Meat equals protein! You bettcha! (Watch out for flavorings or marinades that may contain higher sugars or sodium if you're watching out for them. Most are acceptable levels.)

Aloha,

Thank you for the info on the jerky...I am still only 3 weeks out of my surgery...so I cannot be eating any solids...but the jerky would be good down the road.

I got it at Don Quiote however I think you can find it at Longs.  When I went to the Big Island that is where I found it.  You can start it probably after 1 month.
