Question:
1 slice orowheat
calorie total is roughly 250 for the meal
is it a healthy snack? I am trying to lose weight and it is one of my snack foods.
Answers:
Good snack choice! Even better if you eat the peanut butter on celery, though (roughage!)
it'll depend on what else you eat...I'm not even sure if thats a snack, to me its more of a meal, just lackin in fruit, veggie, dairy, yea
As I was unfamiliar with Oroweat bread, I searched it and went to the site.
Is the bread whole grain? Is the peanut butter natural without corn syrup and/or high fructose corn syrup? If it's not whole grain, and filled with corn syrup and/or high fructose corn syrup, I don't eat it.
However, I eat peanut butter (natural; we buy the Skippy Natural as it does have sugar in it and my husband doesn't like the type with the oil; I prefer the latter, but it's one of those things that isn't worth arguing over and isn't worth buying two of) and whole wheat bread, together and separate as snacks, meals, etc. When I do peanut butter and jelly, I use all natural fruit spread, the kind without corn syrup and/or high fructose corn syrup and without the artificial sweetners, just fruit and frit pectin.
Also, what else are you eating? Natural peanut butter is good fat, but if you're eating other fats, the fake yucky stuff, then you should eliminate the latter.
I hope this helps.
