Q: I love peanut butter sandwiches. Any way to keep them in my diet?

A: If you're trying to lose fat, they're really not optimal, but if you absolutely love them, then you can maybe afford one a day. Make sure you use whole-wheat bread, natural peanut butter (Should have only peanuts and salt in the ingredient list. And don't use a ton of it! :), and add a source of protein. Good choices there would be fat-free or low-fat cottage cheese or whey protein powder. Some people also swear that tuna goes well with peanut butter, but I've never tested that out myself . But do make sure you have a lot of protein of some sort to go with the carbs of bread and fats of the peanut butter. Use it as a complete meal in the first half of the day or before weight-training. It could make an OK breakfast. But don't eat it more than once a day and make sure you eat lots of veggies in your other meals.
