When people think about meat snacks, like jerky or sticks, they usually think of beef. It makes sense, beef is the most typical type of meat snack. But it’s not the only choice.
Meat snacks can also be made from chicken, turkey, pork, and even salmon. There’s no “best” when it comes to these snacks, as they all have their positive attributes.
But there are still differences, and one of these is protein content. Not all meat snacks are identical, and it’s good to know your best choices for your nutritional goals.
What to Look for When Comparing Meats for Protein Snacks
The flavor of snacks is subjective and a matter of preference, but protein is more of a science. According to the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health, it is recommended that adults get just over 7 grams for every 20 pounds of body weight per day.
When picking a protein snack, you’ll want to consider the amount of protein per serving in the snack you choose, in addition to other protein you’re consuming throughout the day.
We’ll walk you through the protein values of LK’s chicken and beef snacks to help you find options to fit into your snacking routine.
Plus, all of our meat snacks are certified free of the top 9 allergens (peanuts, tree nuts, wheat, milk, sesame, eggs, fish, shellfish, soy), so that more people can enjoy their delicious flavor throughout the day.
Protein Values of LK Beef Snacks
Our Smoke Show Beef Jerky is a good place to start. It contains 13 grams of protein in a 1 oz serving. This is 23% of the daily value for a 2,000-calorie-per-day diet.
Compare that to our beef sticks, whether you’re picking the bold flavor of our Smoke Show Beef Sticks, or the delicious heat of our Heat Seeker Beef Sticks. Each beef stick contains 8 grams of protein in its 1 oz serving size. That’s 14% of the daily value for a 2,000-calorie-per-day diet.
You can’t go wrong with either of these options, so why not try them all so you have the right beef snack for every occasion?
Protein Values of LK Chicken Snacks
Our rich and tangy Chicka Boom Chicken Sticks have the same amount of protein as our beef sticks. Each chicken stick contains 8 grams of protein in its 1 oz serving, also 14% of the daily value for a 2,000-calorie-per-day diet.
That means you can snack confidently whether you prefer beef or chicken sticks, choosing the delicious, bold flavors of whatever LK option speaks to you.
