1) get some whole wheat bread. preferably fresh.
2) get some peanut butter. preferably extra crunchy.
3) get some jelly. preferably grape or strawberry. preserves or jam will work too.
4) take a single slice of bread and place it on plate.
5) dip a tablespoon into the peanut butter twice, and each time spread the tablespoon of peanut butter on the slice of bread until completely covered.
6) take a second piece of bread and hold it in your hand.
7) dip a tablespoon into the jelly twice, and each time spread the tablespoon of jelly on the new slice of bread until completely covered.
8) put the piece of bread with jelly on it together with the piece of bread with peanut butter on it such that the jelly and peanut butter are in full contact with each other.
9) put away the peanut butter, jelly, and bread and clean up after yourself
10) enjoy.

    now you may think this is a joke thread, but it's actually not. here's why...

    2 slices of Roman Meal whole wheat bread = 160 cal, 2g fat, 6g protein.
    2 tbsp of Smucker's strawberry jelly = 100 cal
    2 tbsp extra crunchy Jif peanut butter = 190 cal, 16g fat, 7g protein

    that's 450 calories, 18g fat, and 13g protein in total.

    i often see members on MFP complaining that they cannot possibly eat enough food to meet their calorie goals. the classic PB&J is a delicious way to increase your daily calories and help meet your daily fat and protein goals. fats and protein goals should be treated as daily minimums and the peanut butter itself is chock full of healthy fats and protein.

    I agree with your recipe except you are putting the peanut butter on the wrong piece of bread.

    jelly doesn't have bits of fruit in it. jams/preserves do.

    what works for you might not work for me.

    Ritz crackers can be substituted for bread in a pinch.

    Yes... and foodies can vary the recipe by toasting the bread first.

    :drinker: I have a Similar Recipe in my "My Meals" List. Only I substitute Dark Chocolate M & M Candys for Jelly.

    This is the pb&j I had on Saturday:

    Martin's Sandwich Potato Bread - Bread, 2 Slice - 160 cals, 2 g fat, 8 g protein
    Smucker's - Natural Creamy Peanut Butter *, 32 g - 200 cals, 16 g fat, 7 g protein
    Welch's - Concord Grape Jelly , 1 Tbsp (20g) - 50 cals, 0 fat, 0 protein

    410 cals/18 g fat/15 g protein

    YUM! (it was really crunchy pb, but this one was already entered in grams in the database. yes, I weigh it!)

    Is jelly the same thing as jam? I'm from the UK so...

    Basically. Jam has the seeds still in it and jelly doesn't.

    This sandwich is upside down. The peanut butter has to be on top!

    Do not you toast the bread first? It transfers the heat to the peanut butter and releases more flavor.

    I always spread my jelly on top of my peanut butter so one piece of bread stays clean until I put it together.
