so, i want to lose 10 pounds so im trying to eat healthier. i normally eat cheezits and fruit snacks but today i got those uncrustables (pb n j thing) and a bag of chips only because i was really hungry. but would the pb n j be healthy for me to eat everyday at lunch?
ductape_n_roses answered Monday March 26 2007, 9:05 pm: Everyday for lunch? No. Once in a while? Yes.
Peanut butter itself is very high in fat and, while most jellies are healthy, the one used in the manufactured PB&J sandwhich is probably bad for you and higher in sugar and artificial flavoring rather than real fruit. It is also very, very out of the normal proportion. I've tried one and there is double the amount of peanut butter and jelly that should be on a PB & J sandwhich.
So instead of getting those sandwhiches, get a cheese and turkey sandwhich or something like that. Get healthy, fresh sandwhiches because whatever comes manufactured and packaged is unhealthy. So stick with fresh sandwhiches, fruits, salads, and veggies =) [ ductape_n_roses's advice column | Ask ductape_n_roses A Question ]

well, peanut butter has lots of fatty oil... it's not exactly the healthiest thing out there. jelly is pretty healthy because it's made of fruit, and fruit is obviously really good for you! so, you can take a pb + j sandwhich with a little peanut butter and mostly jelly but since youre buying uncrustables, its already proportioned out for you :/ but you can always make it at home, you know?
perhaps a substitute for an uncrustable could be a sandwhich with grilled chicken, or instead of a sandwich just have a bunch of healthy snacks, like fruits and veggies. that's what i do. it makes me full and i dont have to eat unhealthy white bread which isn't good for you evvveryday.
