Gym bag snacks need to survive a hot locker, a cold car, and a few days of forgetting about them. Love's Jerky Co. makes thin, crispy beef jerky we call meat chips, handmade by a small family business and made fresh weekly. Pick a flavor, toss a bag in your gym bag, and you have something real to eat when the workout is done.
Why Love's Jerky Makes Great Gym Bag Snacks
A good gym bag snack has to be easy. No fridge, no utensils, no mess. Our jerky is dried until crisp like a chip, so you can tear open a bag and eat it right out of the locker room or the driver's seat.
The ingredient lists are short. Plain Beef is 100% beef and nothing else, and Real Salt is just top round beef and unrefined Redmond Real Salt. We do not marinate the beef, and our sodium is lower than many brands.
Shelf life is about 6 months from the made date, so a bag can ride in your gym bag between workouts without a second thought. Every batch is made fresh weekly by our family, using a recipe passed down from our founder's dad, Leroy.
Real reviews from real snackers
It's the perfect quick, low-calorie protein source, and the flavors are fantastic. My favorites are the Beef, Real Salt, and Red Chili. Shipping has been fast every time.
Bought this for my sons who are always looking for healthy protein! They love it!!
I absolutely love these jerky bites! They are super dry and crisp, almost like chips. I've never tried anything like this before.
Probably the best jerky out there. I have tried multiple jerky companies and so far you guys are the best. It's always fresh and crunchy!
Love that it is thin. Good work snack.
Hands down the best beefy jerky I've ever had!! I just ordered two more large bags and a sample pack.

Gym Bag Snacks Tips: Packing, Timing and Sharing
A few habits make jerky an easy part of your gym routine.
- Keep one 1.5oz bag in your gym bag at all times so you never leave the gym with nothing to eat.
- Stash a bag in your car or locker for the days you forget to pack.
- Check the made date on the bag and plan to finish it within about 6 months.
- Tear a bag open at the end of your workout, or share a 5oz bag with your training partner.
- Rotate flavors through the week so your gym bag snacks never get boring.
5oz vs 1.5oz Gym Bag Snacks and the Sample Pack
The 1.5oz bag is the grab-and-go size for your gym bag. It runs $9 to $10 for most flavors, and it is easy to stash in a locker or car.
The 5oz bag costs about 25% less per ounce, so it is the better value if you eat a lot of jerky. If you are not sure which flavors you like, the Sample Pack gives you six 1.5oz bags for $50 with free shipping.
Why Thin and Crispy Beats Thick, Chewy Jerky
Thick, chewy jerky can turn a quick snack into a long jaw workout. Ours is thin-sliced and dried until crisp like a chip, so it breaks easily and is quick to eat between sets or on the walk to your car.
Every cow is different, so some batches run a little chewier than others. The flavor stays the same, and we make every batch fresh weekly.
Gym Bag Snacks FAQ
What are the best gym bag snacks that do not need a fridge?
Shelf-stable snacks work best. Our beef jerky lasts about 6 months from the made date, so a 1.5oz bag can sit in your gym bag between workouts. Keep it sealed and in a dry spot.
Is your jerky tough to chew after a workout?
It is thin-sliced and dried until crisp like a chip, so it is not thick or leathery. Every cow is different, so some batches are a little chewier, but the flavor stays the same.
Which flavor is the best pick for gym bag snacks if I want no heat?
Plain Beef, Real Salt, Salt and Pepper, Garlic Delite and Lemon Pepper all have no heat. Hatch Green Chile is mild to medium, with the heat toned down to a customer-friendly level.

Everything is made in a facility that handles dairy, peanuts, wheat, egg, soy and tree nuts. Hatch Green Chile contains wheat and soy. Lemon Pepper contains wheat, soy and fish. Others list no allergens.
Which size should I buy for my gym bag?
