Anyone who can read a label should know that beef sticks, aka processed meat, contains other ingredient. And that means they have carbs - sometimes a lot. That's why I don't eat them unless I've planned poorly & they are all that's available to eat. I'll admit that's rare tho.

But if the guy doesn't cook, why not eat raw meat? I know I'm not the only one here who does that. I often crave raw beef, especially if I've been eating non-beef protein for a few days.
