GYMFACE DIDYAKNOW: Either beef or turkey jerky is a great protein-filled snack. Just an ounce of beef jerky contains about 10 to 12 grams of protein. Whether you prefer the spicy or sweet variety, you can find jerky in a variety of flavors. Jerky is likely to come smoked or marinated, which means that there is bound to be more sodium per serving. One ounce of jerky can contain more than 400 milligrams of sodium. The 2010 Dietary Guidelines for Americans recommends that you get no more than 2,300 milligrams of sodium daily, or no more than 1,500 milligrams if you have high blood pressure, diabetes, chronic kidney disease or are over age 50. If you are concerned about the sodium content, compare different brands and varieties to make the best choice. facebook/gymface
