Good homemade jerky starts with very low fat meat. Fat can cause the
jerky to go rancid so it is important to have all fat trimmed off. I
really don't know about the nutritional value of homemade jerky but
commercial jerky is 50 cal per .5 0z with 2 g protein according to Book
of Food Counts. Sodium & carb content is easily controlled when making
homemade jerky.
