The carnivore diet is focused on eating nose-to-tail animal products and has been gaining popularity. While it can be a straightforward approach, finding convenient snacks can be a challenge. Beef jerky emerges as a champion in portable, protein-packed snacks.
Beef jerky is a carnivore diet dream:
- Pure Protein: Beef jerky boasts an impressive protein concentration. One serving (1 ounce/28 grams) delivers 11 grams of protein for 70 calories. Three and a half servings come in one package, so if you’re looking for a full meal instead of a snack, you can finish off the package for 245 calories and 33 grams of protein.
- Minimal Processing: Look for beef as the first ingredient. Natural beef jerky with just beef and basic seasonings, free from grains or fillers that don’t fit the carnivore diet.
- Convenient and Shelf-Stable: No refrigeration is required! Throw some packs in your bag for work, gym, or on-the-go adventures. Its long shelf life also makes it a great option for stocking your pantry.
- Variety of Flavors: Gone are the days of just plain beef jerky. Today, you’ll find an exciting world of flavors to tantalize your taste buds, from savory peppered to spicy ghost pepper, all while adhering to your carnivore diet principles.
Other Carnivore Diet Snacks:
- Hard-boiled eggs
- Beef Bacon
- Natural Hotdogs
- Meat crisps. Dehydrate thinly sliced beef, pork, or chicken for a homemade alternative to chips.
With a little creativity, you can enjoy delicious and satisfying snacks while staying true to the carnivore diet.
