beef jerky

At the store beef jerky in the package contains some carbs and often some
sugar. On fitday.com they show beef jerky as having like 10 carbs.

I bought some london broil steaks and sliced them up. Rolled the slices in
garlic, salt, pepper and dried them. Do they still have carbs this way?

Doubt it. I think the commercially processed stuff picks up sugar and carbs
when processed as it acts as a preservative.

There would be carbs in the garlic. But you can control what you use.

How would you dry slices of meat without it spoiling?

I'm just curious. I've never eaten beef jerky.

My biggest problem with beef jerky isn't the carbs so much
as the amount of salt which is in it. I love the stuff but
most any quantity at all causes me to bloat for a couple
days after I eat it. Of course, on the positive size, it
makes for a whoosh a couple days later, but only back to
where I started. I still eat it on occasion as it is
sometimes the taste and texture that does the trick to get
me past a moment of hunger or craving when I am otherwise
option limited.

The said, the lowest carb, and cheapest, commercial stuff I
have found is the Great Value at Wal-Mart. The plain stuff
in the blue bag is 2g carb/oz. At the store near me it is
$5.86/bag for an 8oz. bag. No better or worse than any
other mass produced jerky so far as taste goes. The other
flavors (teriyaki and peppered) have a lot of sugar in them
and the carb count is 6-8g/oz.

Some of the beef jerky recipes that I have seen, contain a little sugar. I
would imagine that the packaged stuff would be the same or more.

One way is to use a food dehydrator.
They are inexpensive, easy to use, and allow you to make jerky with whatever
spices you like.

Or do it the way it was done for thousands of years; hang it outside over a
branch. Not so hard to see why life expectancy has increased since then!
