hey everyone i recently got back from the gym and found some beef jerky in the house :)

before really thinking of the stuff in it i ate it pretty fast... :verygood: so i was wondering from looking at the labels if it was ok to eat..because the bag says 97% fat free...anyways here are the nutrtition facts: well it says 3 servings per bag and i just ate the bag (pretty small) so ill just multiply everything by 3...

calories: 240 cal from fat: 15
total fat: 1.5 g
saturated fat: 0 g
cholesterol: 20 mg
sodium: 590 mg
total carbs: 9 g (pretty low i thought :))
dietary fibers: 0 g
sugars: 9 g
protein: 45 g (woohoo alot)
vitamins A and C: 0%
calcium: 0%
iron: 4% (thats good right?)

and at the bottom it says calories per gram:
fat:9 - carbohydrate:4 - protein: 4

it's called jack link's beef jerky (original) incase you need to check something i may have left out..

so how is beef jerky for a diet? low carbs and high protein...SOUNDS really good but before i go n throw away all my money buyin the expensive stuff is it really healthy?? or does it just seem like it is?

Its good if you make it yourself with a dehydrator with out all the sodium and chemicals they put in it.

do they have any website i can order from?
 
I try to keep some on hand for the times I'm away from the house for an extended period of time. Beef jerkey and almonds for a good snack till I get back home. It beats the rueban sandwich, fries, and 2 pints of Guiness I "had" to get yesterday while running errands.

anyways the dehydrator sounds good...are there any cheap but good ones out there? or is this something easy i can just look up on google or something? kinda low on cash...all my money is payin for my gym membership and school...the 2 most important things to me (other than the ladies :daisy: ) lol... :verygood:
