beef jerky healthy snack?

is beef jerky a healthy snack? i'm not a nutrition expert but it looks good - high protein, low carb, low fat. only thing catches my eye is the high sodium.

It's pretty good. The cost is the only reason I don't eat more.

high sodium that's it - i'm stressed all the time
anyways, don't need the hypertension down the road..

I'd eat a half-pound per day if money weren't an issue.

Why not make your own?

Buy some chuck steak, cut it into strips, and put it directly on the oven rack after marinating it or whatever at 200* for several hours.


Much MUCH cheaper, and healthier.

I love that shit. Anyone try Deerjerky? Ten times better.

I used to make it in a food dehydrator, but that's not an option since I can't get fresh beef where I live right now.

Deer jerky is good, too, but not ten times better.

I been kicking around the idea of a food dehydrator too.

Any of you guys do this or have any good recipes for marrinades?
