I'm currently on a cutting routine. I was just curious if a pack of beef jerkey at 180 calories and 27 grams of protein a good thing to eat while cutting?

If you're concerned about water weight gain, check the sodium content - it's probably pretty high.....

Is it fat free? I ate FF jerky throughout my cut.

I am just finding jerky and loving it. Not just finding out about it, but actually eating it some. Yea, the sodium is a little high, but about 1-2g fat, and 15-20g protein per ounce is awesome.

When you're stuck somewhere and it's time to eat, you really can't beat gas-station beef jerky. I could stand to see the price come down some though!

Beef jerky is fat free pretty much by definition, because fats don't preserve well, and preservation of the meat was the original point of drying it into jerky. Well, today's science can do anything, but it should be safe to say there isn't much fat in it.

holy crap i know! 3$ for 2 oz?! 6-7$ for 5oz!

if anyone finds a place to buy jerky in bulk, lemme know cause i eat so much, its so good!

do yourself a favor and get jack links jerky..it blows everything else away. its not dry and ridiculously salty tasting.

Jacks Kipper Steaks are the bomb! :eat:

(And yep - when stuck somewhere with no snacks - finding these at a gas station will help you survive!)

update: checked ebay. thats right...ebay. found a ton of beef jerky

Beef jerky is a nice source of lean protein, but it really does have an ungodly amount of sodium in it. So....if you have high blood pressure, or are particularly averse to water retention, you might want to limit your beef jerky consumption -- Otherwise, have at it.
