Beef Jerky nutrition facts

A high-protein, low-fat snack, but very salty — a single ounce can carry close to half a day's sodium. Great for protein on the go if you watch the salt.

How does beef jerky fit your goals?

Beef jerky delivers a balanced macro profile (9.3g protein / 3.1g carbs / 7.2g fat per 1 oz (28g)), which makes it easy to fit into almost any tracking plan. Foods like this are particularly useful as base ingredients in meal prep, because they don't lock you into a specific macro split — you can pair them with whatever your daily target needs more of.

Diet-wise, beef jerky fits keto and low-carb eating patterns.

Micronutrients worth noting

Beef jerky doesn't stand out on micronutrients at this serving size. Worth flagging on the other side of the ledger: a serving carries 22% of the daily sodium limit, which matters if you eat it often.
