I had gastric bypass surgery, so I need foods that are high in protein and low in carbs. Prior to getting this my favorite was Jack Links Original Steak Nuggets, which is almost twice as expensive. I will definiteoly be buying this again, I got both the Original and Teriyaki flavors an prefer the Original. It is moist and tender without being mushy. The pieces are most very large. The only problem is that my dog likes it even more than I do and she whines when I dont give her some.
