The X-Sticks also have a much better texture than Slim Jims, these things actually look like they are made of real meat, NOT the 'mystery meat - goat hair/cardboard' texture of the modern Slim Jim. The X-Stick is 'not exactly' a health food snack. They have a fair amount of fat, a little over 5 grams (each stick, in this package, is 14 grams total mass). Sodium content is about 224 mg and, about 3.2 grams of protein and only 64 calories (about 47 calories from fat) per stick. What the X-Stick is, is a very satisfying snack. I sometimes have to miss a meal, due to my work. One or two of these take the hunger away and puts some energy back into me. I do try to limit my fat intake but do not feel guilty about snacking on these once in a while. Enjoy.

These are great snacks for diabetics (like me) since they have a negligible amount of Net Carbs. The Amazon "Product Features" incorrectly lists these as 160 Calories each, and neither the box or individual packaging list the Nutrition Facts, so I visited the Jack Links web site and found the following: Serving Size: .5 Oz (1 stick) Calories: 60 (45 from Fat) Total Fat: 5g (2g Saturated Fat) Cholesterol: 15mg Sodium: 220mg Total Carbohydrates: 0g Protein: 3g These do contain MSG, which can cause "gastric distress" in some people (like my dad). Overall, these are great as a snacks between meals and they are so much better than the competition. Highly Recommended!

They taste good, but have that typical meat stick flavor. These are also MUCH easier to open than a Slim Jim. Packed well, arrived quickly and fresh. |
