Beef jerky has about 590 mg/serving. It also has only 80 calories and a whopping 14g of protein. It is a pretty healthy, low cal, high protein snack. I don't eat much processed food and add very little salt to what I cook, so I'm well within the sodium requirements.<br /><br />I just looked up roasted turkey breast lunchmeat as a comparison. It has 45 cal and 9g of protein and 470mg of sodium -per slice. If I were to have turkey breast I would not just eat one slice...I would probably roll up at least 2. <br /><br />I don't know. But I'm not worried about it. I'm doing just fine.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08036149559661933117noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7318609684440219958.post-61944588981136694682009-05-06T11:27:00.000-07:002009-05-06T11:27:00.000-07:00How much sodium does it have though?How much sodium does it have though?beckyjomamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08353794918193848933noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7318609684440219958.post-6923591037230391042009-05-06T05:31:00.000-07:002009-05-06T05:31:00.000-07:00I know Fran! 97% fat free and I can eat it on the ...I know Fran! 97% fat free and I can eat it on the fly. I'm trying to eat snacks that count. Believe it or not the black pepper flavored walmart brand is pretty good. Tons of protein and low fat. Not the most feminine snack, but sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08036149559661933117noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7318609684440219958.post-4851644649232762562009-05-05T19:24:00.000-07:002009-05-05T19:24:00.000-07:00Did I just see the words beef jerky???

Breakfast:
1/2 cup...Okay, here is my typical diet.<br /><br />Breakfast:<br />1/2 cup cottage cheese<br />Whole grain english muffin (1/2 tsp butter)<br />4 or 5 strawberries<br /><br />Snack:<br />2 strips of beef jerky<br />1 pear<br /><br />Lunch:<br />1 cup Spanish rice (Brown rice, taco flavored ground turkey, tomatos, green pepper, onion.)<br /><br />Snack:<br />1 celery stalk<br />1 carrot<br /><br />Dinner:<br />1/2 grilled boneless, skinless, chicken breast (Like 3-4 oz.)<br />Grilled asparagus<br />2 small redskin potatoes<br /><br />Snack:<br />Fruit smoothie<br />(Strawberry, mango, banana, yogurt, ice, milk.)<br /><br />Drinking a ton of water. Some milk. Some unsweetened iced tea. No soft drinks. No coffee. No alcohol.<br /><br />So, you can see that I am eating PLENTY of food and they are pretty good food choices. Of course this is a typical menu, but not what I eat every day. Sometimes it is whole wheat pasta with tomato sauce, sometimes it is a turkey burger with a whole grain bun...but I am getting plenty of grains with protein and not too much fat. (I'm cooking food in EVOO.) <br /><br />I am just putting into practice what I just learned in my nutrition class.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08036149559661933117noreply@blogger.com
