Are peanut butter sandwiches bad?? (high fat + high carb combo)

[Sexual Mustard]

Vageta is absolutely right....it doesn't really matter if it's natural peanut butter or Skippy's (I prefer Skippy's)---their nutritional contents are exactly the same, so it's not going to make a difference in a dieting/weight loss department, but if you're healthy-body-conscious then you might want to go organic. I have at least a tablespoon or 2 a day of Skippy's, and I've been dieting for over a month now. I eat the peanut butter to get some fats in since I get waaay too little fat in my diet otherwise. Also, it helps greatly when I need to reach a certain amount of calories as I count and gradually deplete them. The PB is probably my favorite "meal" of the day while dieting!

Maybe your Skipp's is the same, but some brands, like Jif, have corn syrup added. Some have (ick) soy added. I like the health food store stuff.

Gen--you can have the p.b. (you can even use sugar-free jam, if you're on a keto, otherwise use a little bit if you like). But,Ii would't do it every day. Can you take a cooler? If so, a world of food opens up.

keiko-
well u said i shouldnt have pb sandwich every day. how often do u think its okay to have one??...maybe something like every other day or every 3rd day??

Are you trying to burn fat? Are you still playing soccer?

Refresh my mind--what are your stats?

If you've got practice everyday--chow down.

If you don't have practice and aren't doing cardio, skip the pb and have another source of protein, buyt lower in fat.

no i'm not really looking to majorly cut much. i do have some fat that i wouldn't mind getting off but it's not my biggest concern cuz i'm pretty satisfied with what i have and just wanna maintain. i have soccer 4 to 5 times a week. do u think i can have a pb sandwich on practice days??
