Whats ur opinion on Beef Jerkey? Good food to help build muscle?

It can be good for an extra protein snack (instead of a Protein Bar, for example), but a lot of the sticks are loaded with sodium.
I used to eat them, but when I saw the amount of sodium in the ones I was eating (over 1500mg), I quit.
If I could find some with less sodium, I'd still use them for a snack from time to time.

Loaded with sodium indeed, but god damn is it a tasty, high protein snack.
JERKY GOOD.

As long as it is low fat then you could use it as a quick and easy high protein snack if you wanted...
Also - if your diet is generally low in sodium then don't get too concerned with the salt content... As long as your kidneys are functioning it shouldn't be a problem... But you can also get low-sodium varieties too... Or, if you REALLY want jerky and can't find low sodium then get yourself a dehydrator and make your own!!

I love beef jerky and think it is a great bodybuilding snack. I don't think it's a good idea to have it as a staple in your diet to be eaten everyday though with all the processing it's had. Of course who could afford to do that anyways?

try to find one that does not contain MSG, most of them do.

I drink over a gallon a day, so I dont think the sodium is a problem, but I do eat a small amount everyday at work, as a snack between lunch and dinner.
