Poultry meat jerky exposed!

Since the Atkins diet became popular, many people on weight loss programs are turning to poultry meat products such as turkey and chicken jerky for high protein source in their snacking schedules between meals. 

An ounce serving of turkey or chicken jerky can provide up to 13 grams of protein! Protein snacks are preferred for weight loss because they make you feel fuller since they take longer to digest and minimize uncontrollable cravings for carb that can make you overeat. 

Additional health benefits from eating turkey or chicken jerky are that they are naturally lower in fat content than beef and most non-poultry meat products, and also lower in calories making them a perfect snacking choice for low carb diet

The amount of sodium is a big issue with most jerky products since salt is heavily used in traditional jerky-making process. That is why it is always prudent to watch your salt intake overall relative to the recommended daily values (about 2,400 mg per 2,000 daily caloric intake for adults and children 4 years and above). 

Jerky Direct poultry jerky meat snacks (turkey and chicken) make it simpler to manage your daily salt intake due to its products being close to 50-percent lower in sodium per 1-ounce serving than many of the popular brands in the market.

Unhealthy snacks can ruin healthy eating!

About 60-percent of consumers surveyed in 2012 indicated that their choice of snacks was based on how the snack tasted rather than whether it was nutritionally healthy, and mainly to satisfy cravings and not because they were hungry! 

So no matter how much progress we have made, our healthy eating can easily be sabotaged by snacking on "junk food" that can literally set back the healthy nutritional benefits we have achieved so far. Unless we're careful and remain aware, it is very easy to fall into the "junk food" snacking traps. 

It is truly a challenge to stay away from unhealthy snack choices, especially when most of the available products we find in the market contain high quantity of carb, fat, sodium and other additives/preservatives. 

Take for example "jerky" which is a favorite snack among adults and kids 17 and younger. If you are not careful, you'll end up eating a jerky snack that can have as much as 600 mg of sodium per 1-ounce serving! That's roughly 25% of recommended daily sodium intake of 2,400 mg based on a 2,000 calorie intake for adults and children age 4 and older!

Jerky Direct meat snacks (beef, chicken, turkey or buffalo) are not only tasty and healthy, but are close to 50-percent lower in sodium than most national jerky brands. 

Jerky Direct products are all-natural and/or certified organic meat with no added artificial ingredients. The meat comes from animals that have been raised without hormones, synthetic vitamins and antibiotics.

Jerky Direct makes it easy to choose a healthy snack anytime you have cravings between meals during your weight loss program or special dietary regimen.

Turkey jerky is great for weight loss!

Turkey jerky is one of nine snack foods listed by Jane Bianchi (redbookmag.com) that are great for weight loss programs.

Using Jack Link’s Premium Turkey Jerky, as an example, to show the benefits of turkey jerky in losing weight, she highlighted the facts that this particular product is 98-percent fat-free, 80 calories, 13 g of protein and 5 g of carbs with no added MSG per one-ounce serving. However, sodium is 490 mg per serving (almost 20-percent of daily recommended allowance).

I wanted to see how Jerky Direct Natural Turkey Jerky nutrition values compared to Jack Link’s Premium Turkey Jerky. Jerky Direct Natural Turkey Jerky Original is 100-percent fat-free, 60 calories, 11 g of protein and 6g of carbs --- no added MSG, no erythorbate, no nitrite and no preservatives. Sodium is 270 mg per serving.

Jerky Direct Natural Turkey Jerky stacked up better than Jack Link’s product overall with the most benefit coming from its lower sodium content of 270 mg --- about 45-percent lower than Jack Link’s 490 mg per serving.

Jerky Direct Natural Turkey Jerky products are great for your weight loss program, especially when you need to have high-protein snacks between meals or to even substitute a meal!

Jerky Direct All-Natural Organic Meat Snacks are better than traditional jerky!

Wikipedia defines "Jerky" as lean meat that has been trimmed of fat, sliced into strips and then dried or dehydrated to prevent spoilage. 

Salt is usually added to the drying or dehydration process to inhibit bacteria from developing before sufficient moisture has been removed from the meat. The word "jerky" originated from the Spanish word “charqui” that was derived from the Incan word “charki” which means to burn (meat). The two basic ingredients needed to make "jerky" are a low-temperature dehydration method, and salt to prevent growth of bacteria.

Wikipedia further explains, “A typical 30 g portion of fresh jerky contains 10-15 g of protein, 1 g of fat, and 0-3 g of carbohydrates. Since traditional jerky recipes use a basic salt cure, sodium can be a concern for some people. A 30 g serving of jerky could contain more than 600 mg of sodium, which would be about 30% of the recommended USRDA.”

Jerky Direct Meat Snacks contain about 10 g of protein, 1 g of fat, 1 g carbohydrates and 390 mg of sodiumroughly 35% less sodium than traditional jerky products.

Jerky Direct Meat Snacks are all-natural organic meat with no artificial ingredients added and minimally processed. Jerky Direct Meat Snacks have no erythorbate, no nitrite, no preservatives, no added MSG (monosodium glutamate). Animals have been raised without added hormones and without antibiotics
