Answers:
YES, besides some of the jerky manufacturers that put soy sauce in everything, jerky products are very healthy. It seems like you know what you're looking for in your diet, so that's a great start.

Check out http://www.jerky.com/ because they have some pages with products that are either low-carb or low-calorie. They are obviously all low in fat. Just be sure to check to see if the jerky contains additives or preservatives if you are going for an all natural jerky.

To answer the question though...YES, although there are a ton of jerky manufacturers that are healthier than Jack Links.

Have a good one and good luck with the diet.Health Question & Answer

No. It's super high in salt. Try eating apples, pears, deviled eggs, popcorn, wheat crackers--any number of better alternatives.Health Question & Answer

The sodium is bad, but it is pretty healthy and good for you otherwise!
I like beef jerky in the little 100 cal pouches.Health Question & Answer
