Are PB&J sandwichs bad for you? Are they the reason i cant lose weight?
Question:
ive been trying to eat healthier to lose weight, and im not getting anywhere. Are the sandwiches to blame?
Answers:
try Smuckers no sugar added Jam regular Jam is loaded with unnecessary sugars. Also try Rye or whole wheat bread as opposed to white which is not the best for you not to mention unnatural. Light PB is great and is a good source of protein and will keep you full for a long period of time!
Other Answers:
Full of sugar!! And all of that bread, too many carbs.so yes. If money is an issue, try non sweetened jelly or jam, carb solutions peanut butter, and carb smart bread.
don't eat white bread.
eat wheat bread.
Unlikely that that is the problem. No food is inherently "bad" for you, as all except for water have some nutritional value. I wouldnt reccomend it. Try eating wheat bread and little amounts of pb&j
i don't think a sandwich a day is killing your diet. don't be so hard on yourself. i'm sure you are doing fine. weight loss takes hard work, and lots of patience.
well they ARE high in sugar and carbs - are you exercising ?
but aside of that they are very good for you - well balanced and tasty. except for that reduced fat PB your using
YOU AINT LOSSING WEIGHT BECAUSE YOU EAT FOUR OF THEM AND DRINK TWO COKES. Are you working out as well? And what else do you eat? PB&J's are good.. A good way to eat it and make it better is to use one peach of bread. Put PB on the bottom and Jelly on top of the PB and eat it like its tost and jelly. That way you don't have the extra peace of bread.
I dont think so and how many are u eatin a day?
peanut butter is good for you in the sense that it has good protein levels. but it is also high in saturated fat.
however one sandwhich a day should not be why you cant lose weight..
what else are you eating? exercise? what do you drink? when do you eat? how long before bedtime, etc.?
not necessarily. Watch how much you put on. Count how many calories and fat you take in overall each day and that will tip you off as to whether it's your diet or not. Peanut butter can be bad for you if you eat to much of it and not workout by walking,etc. Peanut butter is full of proteen theirfore if you dont do something it will turn to fat, and bread does'nt help.
It just depends on what you are doing to work it off. Technically you would need to take into consideration your height/weight, calories you intake now, recent gain/loss, how much you exercise now, and what else you are eating. A peanut butter and jelly sandwhich is what, 400 calories? No, it is not that that is preventing your not losing weight. I hope you are eating AT LEAST 1200 calories a day, if not, your body might be in reserve calorie mode. Wheat bread actually is worse in many cases than white bread, it just has some good stuff in there for you as well. There are better lunches to eat for a similar cost, check into the soup at hands by Campbells, just be careful of the sodium that you eat on the same day as that. Most people end up intaking more calories than they think they do. Seriously, take a good look at how many calories you intake most days. EVERYTHING including the milk you drink, soda, Snickers bar, whatever. You might find the PB&J to be the least of your worries. If you don't know what the nutritional facts are for something, don't eat it. Especially fast food. your best bets there are Subway and Taco Bell.
well like for me they r not bad cause i been eatin them for a long time now and they r really really good so i think they r good for u but dats just me u no but dont stop eating dem cause u r gonna miss 'em lol
Switch to 100% whole wheat bread. Brands can be deceiving. Not all wheat breads are 100% whole wheat. Read the labels. Depending on what kind of jelly your using it can contain loads of sugar. And even the reduced fat PB is high in calories. I think you only save something like 10cals per serving with the reduced fat. I believe most PB's are 190 cal's per serving which is about 2 tbsp. That's a lot of calories. I agree with the person on here you suggested a white meat sandwich. The best is probably chicken or turkey breast.
