Nature's Own Whole Wheat Bread Light - 40 cals per slice (2)= 80 cals
Better N Peanut Butter 2 tbs= 100 cals
Smucker's Blueberry Jam (I got the blueberry from the perserves above) 1 tbs= 20 cals (2tbs)= 40 cals

*I got this from the database, seems that smucker's are pretty low and they even make a sugar free kind

that equals........ 220 cals????

According to MFP, 1 cup grapes = 62 calories - where are you getting the 220 figure?

that is the number that I use too 62= 1 cup

I've been eating grapes throughout my journey and have lost 49lbs, so I'm good with 62 calories in a cup

I love peanut butter and jelly...one night I had this for dinner and it was 714 for the whole dinner, including one and a half pb&J sandwiches, chocolate soy milk, a banana, and a serving and a half of honey wheat pretzels...and if my quick math is correct, you could have just the sandwich and a half for 338 calories...so if you really miss it...definitely look into lower cal options!

According to my MFP log today
Green Grapes, 2 cup raw 220

Items with a "*" (asterisk) next to them are entered by one of your fellow "pals" and are not always correct - I think that is the case here.

There are alternatives to most things.. You just have to find what's best for you. That is one thing I love about this lifestyle change. Like Nutella, I get my chocolate fix and I get some good fat from the nuts it's made with! mmmmm nutella!

I love peanut butter! In anything...ice cream, frozen yogurt, cookies, pie...you name it! Nutella is great too. Have you ever had a PB sandwhich with Nutella? Yum.

Peanut Butter lovers-
anyone ever tried PB2? Its a powdered peanut butter- I know what youre thinking YECH! I thought the same thing....GROSS. You mix it with water and....even grosser still, right?
WRONG. This stuff is amazing!! The calories are super low- easy to mix with anything ( shakes, smoothies, etc)

I dont have the nutr info off hand, but here's the website for the place that makes it-
www.bellplantation.com

Honestly I'm one of those who need the real thing- I cannot stand the 'taste of diet' so this stuff surprised me A LOT- I thought I'd hate it, but It tastes excellent and the texture is somewhere between creamy and slightly crunchy....

Oh how I miss cheese, and I used to eat a whole can of olives for a snack. :sad: If and when I eat cheese now I find I can signifigantly reduce the amount I use by shredding it. For some reason shredded cheese one ounce stretches farther than a 2 oz slice!

My family and I have completely made the switch from peanut butter to soynut butter. Seriously, my 8 year old won't even eat peanut butter any more.

The brand I use (Trader Joe's) does add some corn syrup, which I don't like, but if you look around a little you can find a brand without it...

What does soynut butter taste like? Is it comparable to peanut butter? What I mean is-would a true peanut butter lover be glad she bought soynut butter? (I am guessing an iteam like this is non-returnable)

Thanks:flowerforyou:

I miss pb&j

Try PB2 its a powdered peanut butter (sounds gross, but really is good!!!) and fairly low in fat...you can get it at www.bellplantations.com (if that doesnt work, leave off the s at the end...)
Also, Trader Joe's has something called Better N Butter that is delicious and low...
Blessings!

Smucker's - Natural Peanut Butter Chunky, 2 Tbsp (32g) 210

Sara Lee Bread - Hearty & Delicious Country Whole Grain White, 2 slice 240

Add Food Remember Meal 590 Zoinkies!!!

Try eating the Sara Lee Whole Wheat With Honey Bread. It's 45cals per slice, so 90cals for 2 slices. Also I don't eat peanut butter but is the low fat one lower in calories? Anybody know? That might help alil bit, Hnlymark!

With that bread drops you down to bout 440 right?

Let's see if I can get this down! haha

Nature's Own Whole Wheat Bread Light - 40 cals per slice (2)= 80 cals
Better N Peanut Butter 2 tbs= 100 cals
Smucker's Blueberry Jam (I got the blueberry from the perserves above) 1 tbs= 20 cals (2tbs)= 40 cals

*I got this from the database, seems that smucker's are pretty low and they even make a sugar free kind

that equals........ 220 cals????

thats what my pb&js looks like... i do white weat, and not very much pb or j, and it comes out just fine...plus pb has the good kind of fats in it mostly (someone has to be on PB&Js side!)

i dont eat as much cheese anymore either...miss my cheese!
