Beef or Turkey Jerky, better then protein bar?

[MrStamina]

Is jerky better then eating protein bars?

 

[spatts]

What kind of preparation? Sodium? Any added vits and mins like bars?

Do you know how much sodium is in Turkey jerky?! 700mg/serving!! Serving size=1oz.

Again, depends on preparation. If you own a dehydrator, it can be a fairly harmless snack.

Basically I agree with what has been posted already...I think if you compare the sodium, sugar, and preservative content between the two - jerky is better for you if you make it yourself and use the right recipe and the best ingredients. It sure takes long to make, though.

Thanks for the recipes!
