Beef Jerky

hey is beef jerky bad for you? it has a lot of protein and little of everything else, it tastes so good i would hate to have to give it up, what do you all think?

I eat it all the time great for protein when you can't fit a meal in, you can get 97% lean beef jerky. What I like even better is turkey jerky it is better for you and higher in protein. And also by the way this has nothing to do with steroids so why is it the "steroid forum"

well a large amount of sodium is never good because it can cause hypertension and edema, preservatives are just that it makes something stay fresh so too much of it isnt very healthy, anything sitting in a shelf in a can or bag has preservatives in it...

A little sodium is fine, A full bag is like 30% of your daily value. Do not worry about the sodium only time you have to worry alot about it is when your are preparing for a contest. A little sodium is good it keeps water retention and helps you saty hydrated. Also one of the reasons for the amount of sodium in gatorade

True but also the daily valu for protein is 50 grams......And I know most of here are taking around 1-2 grams of protein per pound...... So maybe I am taking a little over the daily value about 6 times the amount to be exact(300grams)

Ok, this may be kinda silly but how come no one has made a buffalo turkey jerky? Kind of like a dried out buff wing? I think it would taste a hell of a lot better than those terrible other flavors some companies have out??? Anyone else wanna go in on the Buffalo jerky biz!!!

Ha. Only a buffalonian would ever think of that.

Well I went to school pretty close to Buff, and watched a lot of Sabres games while I was there so mabye that makes me think a lil different. On a sidenote, anyone who watches the Sabres on Tv up there-those announcers are awesome!!!1
