Heya,

Anyone know how much calories and fat smoked turkey has. I'm using FitDay but I'm having a hard time finding it. I bought it from directly the Deli and they come in slices (similar to what you see in Subway) - actually it came in one big chunk and then he cut it in slices for me. The closest I found on FitDay is

On that site it lists it as "Amount Per 1 package, Calories 113.6" - but what's a pack? And is this the right one (approximately)?

Also, I am trying to alternate chicken breast and smoked turkey ("lean meats") - is smoked turkey a lean meat?

Thanks
 
Who's the manufacturer of it?

boar's head? or is it generic?

Smoked turkey is generally a lean meat - what you have to watch in deli meats though is the processing -most are loaded with sodium...
 
I believe it's generic - it's supposed to be "organic" as in no drugs or artificial supplements fed to the animals...

I'm not sure how much salt is added to it. I don't taste salt when I eat it but that doesn't mean anything - guess I'll have to ask them about the salt on my next visit

I guess a "range" estimate on calories is okay with this... the slices are pretty thin and they taste/look almost the same as the ones from Subway
 
Just because something doesn't taste salty, doesn't mean it doesn't have gobs and gobs of sodium in it - the sodium is generally used in the processing as a preservative...

the deli counter should be able to provide you with the nutrition info for what their selling -most of the deli meats have it on the label...
 
Yep you're right on that... should've asked >....<

Hmmm would anyone happen to have a ranged estimate of how many calories it MAY have (give or take... just need to have a relative idea) because the next time I'm going over there is like in 2 weeks (it's about 1 hour and 30 min away - happen to go there for a conference and thought I'd drop by).
 
Figure 30 calories an ounce. None of us can look through your computer and say "Oh, that looks like a half-ounce slice" so you're going to have to do the extrapolation.
