Additionally, beef jerky is incredibly portable. Whether you’re hitting the gym, going for a hike, or simply need a quick snack between meals, it’s easy to toss a bag into your gym bag or desk drawer. Plus, with various flavors available, you can keep your taste buds satisfied while staying on track with your fitness goals.

Incorporating beef jerky into your diet is not just about convenience; it's also about making a smart nutritional choice. It offers a balanced source of protein that helps fuel your workouts and supports muscle growth, making it an excellent addition to your fitness regimen.

So next time you’re looking for a satisfying and nutritious snack, grab some beef jerky and keep those muscles fueled and ready for action!

Agreed and also watch sodium intake.

the steak can be processed, but it may not be (and i obviously opt for the unprocessed one)
it's strange you don't see a difference between the two

It’s strange you do

Humans have been drying beef with salt for preservation for centuries

 

[SuppsForLife]

no doubt bro, that's true and I have nothing against it.
all I was saying is that a steak is healthier and to have beef jerky with moderation (even the steak should be eaten in moderation too)

Nah this is silly and I disagree. It’s all the same at the end of the day.

Have u ever used tren?

you seriously think that eating 1 lb of steak and 1 lb of beef jerky delivers the same results at the end of the day?

why?

If I cut a pound of meat off of an elk salt it and throw it on the grill or salt it and throw it on the dehydrator what’s the difference?

why?

Well have u?

1 pound of beef jerky would actually have more protein. It’s been dried and the water has been removed. The pound of steak still has the water in it.

Whatsup my best cocker on ASF... Hope you get to see this, if I'm not on your "ignore" list....

The combination of sweet, savory, and umami-rich ingredients. This marinade is a beautiful blend of soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, liquid smoke, brown sugar, salt, pepper, meat tenderizer, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika... And you are most likely going to go through packs of the stuff as opposed to one decent steak...

Just an observation from my underweight self, is it the same, Godfather?

I mean those seam like harmless spices to me.

Either way my scenario is salt only and two different cooking methods. It’s steak. Debating one healthier than the other is diminishing returns.

the difference is that beef jerky has significantly more salt (sodium) than steak at the very least. moreover, I tend to think there must be differences in terms of micronutrients too. that's why I say that you don't seem to understand what I'm trying to say. I do get your point and I agree with you. at the end of the day, beef jerky is much healthier than chips. and yes, steak or beef jerky as a whole, it's the same thing. but you still can't say that fresh potato is the same as chips as long as you add a bit of salt and oil to it.

 

[KrossOut]

The difference between steak and jerky:


It’s the sodium that’s worse in jerky. And it’s really not all that bad.

It’s literally dehydrated meat. It’s the same thing. Whatever condiments you put on it is ur choice.

So use less salt when u dehydrate the beef or drink more water

 

[Battousai]

I would say there's a difference between a slim jim and drying meat yourself. Problem is a lot of these brands that sell real jerky are so damn expensive, so best just to make it yourself. Also, salt isn't an issue, it's the nitrates and msg. I take in about 10g of sea salt every day (no fancy color shit).

make your own with a dehydrater

Blasphemy!!!


Jerky is just well done little steaks.

 

[S.Sepiol]

Why not make your own? I'm positive most all of us have an airfryer thing. I make my jerky in that.
