640cal
anyone know anything about this? jerkey is too high in carbs and im on the road so im eatin at gas stations alot.
I love the spicy ones dipped in sour cream. Great for low-carbing since it’s about the only crunchy snack that’s legal.
Beef jerky is actually low carb but most of them have a ton of added sugar. Wild Bill’s brand has no sugar and is nice and spicy, if you can find it.
Looks like you’ve found the beauty of the AD my friend. They are the perfect snack. Provided (and this is important) that you eat an equal/greater amount of spinach and chicken salad with lots of Extra-virgin olive oil-type meals. Pork rinds are just like cheese lumps- a perfectly balanced AD snack
well, the bag says “not a significant source of protein”
is it absorbable? i mean can you use the protein in pigskin?

I just consider pork skins to be a usable snack here and there. I wouldn’t rely on them for any substantial nutrition.
From the Wikipedia article on Pork Rinds:
A 1-ounce serving contains zero carbohydrates, 17 grams (g) of protein, and 9 g fat. That’s nine times the protein and less fat than you’ll find in a serving of carb-packed potato chips. Even better, 43 percent of a pork rind’s fat is unsaturated, and most of that is oleic acid – the same healthy fat found in olive oil. Another 13 percent of its fat content is stearic acid, a type of saturated fat that’s considered harmless, because it doesn’t raise cholesterol levels.
