Weight Loss Forum / Low Carb / March 2004beef jerky
At the store beef jerky in the package contains some carbs and often some sugar. On fitday.com they show beef jerky as having like 10 carbs. I bought some london broil steaks and sliced them up. Rolled the slices in garlic, salt, pepper and dried them. Do they still have carbs this way? -- Steve in Phx Doubt it. I think the commercially processed stuff picks up sugar and carbs when processed as it acts as a preservative.

I love the stuff but most any quantity at all causes me to bloat for a couple days after I eat it. Of course, on the positive size, it makes for a whoosh a couple days later, but only back to where I started. I still eat it on occasion as it is sometimes the taste and texture that does the trick to get me past a moment of hunger or craving when I am otherwise option limited. The said, the lowest carb, and cheapest, commercial stuff I have found is the Great Value at Wal-Mart. The plain stuff in the blue bag is 2g carb/oz. At the store near me it is $5.86/bag for an 8oz. bag. No better or worse than any other mass produced jerky so far as taste goes. The other flavors (teriyaki and peppered) have a lot of sugar in them and the carb count is 6-8g/oz.  SignatureJJ. Some of the beef jerky recipes that I have seen, contain a little sugar. I would imagine that the packaged stuff would be the same or more. Tom 210/184/180 > At the store beef jerky in the package contains some carbs and often some > sugar.
