Does anyone here love PBJ as much as i do? would you consider it a "healthy" snack? i eat it on wheat bread and i will use reduced fat peanut butter unless i get it at work but i use regular jelly. i have yet to try the reduced sugar jelly.

    i have an obsession with peanut butter and honey on melbatoast. I consider melbatoast to be healthy along with the low fat peanut butter, and the honey is a good sub for sugar.

    it helps to fulfil my sweet cravings. in moderation of course

    yummm

    @vitty...in moderation of course...is once a day acceptable...
    I have this uncontrollable love for pb and j...LOL!
    maybe instead of looking at pb and j as healthy we should look at the whole day...did we go over sugar, cal, fat, sodium...if not...i think i would call it a healthy day...what do you think?

    It's a perfectly acceptable snack/meal. Honestly, I don't bother with reduced fat/sugar for peanut butter or jelly b/c there's just more chemicals added to do that. If you want to try to save a few calories/added sugar, you can use fresh berries or other fruit instead of jelly. I love love love peanut butter in a pita with fresh sliced strawberries or blackberries!

    I'm eating it right now =). I love it because it fills me and takes away my craving for something sweet. Also, it's only a 240 calorie lunch.

    I LOVE me some PB&J.....what I don't love is the 450 calories that go with it. :( I have it every now and then though, kind of like a treat. Moderation is the key. :)

    I LOVE PBJ. I have not given it up at all. I have one for breakfast everyday. Orawheat HealthFull Bread, Skippy Natural Super Chunk, and Polaner Sugar Free with Fiber (the apricot is my favorite). Perfect breakfast.

    @curvykin78 Have you tried using lowcal bread? Sara Lee 100% Whole Wheat with Honey is only 45 calories. I prefer Great Value 100% Whole Wheat(Walmart brand). It's 50 calories a slice and its $2 cheaper =).

    I love love love PBJs, but yeah I hate all the calories. What I do is make my own sugar free jam. If you'd like I can share the recipe. The jam comes out to about 10 calories per sandwich.

    BigAlfrn!......PEA-NUT BUTTER JELLY TIME!!!!! I normally eat mine on Very Thin White bread so I can keep the cals as low as possible and not cut any of the PB&J from the equation.
