are peanut butter sandwiches fatening to eat everyday for breakfast?

Answer 1

Peanut Butter contains a lot of fat grams. It is not whether eating one sandwich a day is fattening but how many total fat grams you take in in a day. If it is the largest part of your fat calories, then no it is not fattening, but if it is just a small amount of your fat calories, then you are taking in too many fat calories and sabotaging your diet. So total your fat calories for an entire day and see which percentage is from peanut butter. If you want to eat peanut butter sandwiches each day then cut the fat out some where else during the day.

Depends. Peter Pan makes a YUMMY reduced fat peanut butter that I like. You could also get a light bread as well. I use both and make peanut butter "fold-overs" for breakfast, which is ONE slice of bread folded over with peanut butter in the middle. I figure it's healthy enough, because your peanut butter has some protien and your bread has some fiber!

Answer 3

Stuff you eat is only bad for you, and/or fattening if
a) you eat too much of it daily
b) there is no excersise in your day
c) you do not get the correct amount of other healthy food.

Diet and wieght loss are dependent on 3 things:

calories going in,
calories being burned up
your body's metabolism

I can only suggest that you try eating such sandwiches and use the scales. If you wish to loose weight, use the formula.:
eat well, excersise often and weigh yourself to adjust the caloric intake and the exercise level.

Answer 4

First of all, I could eat jars of it all day every day and not gain an ounce, although my skin would be pretty greasy. (and I’d only eat the only-peanuts kind; organic if I can afford it too).

Depends on one's metabolism, correct? Yes, correct.

If one is to sit on the couch at home, and sit at the kitchen table, and sit at work and sit on the way to work, and do nothing else in between other than sitting… perhaps one could gain a lot with just eating pretty much anything. But if one is on the road every day training for bicycle racing… I’d say, no. Gaining weight in the form of excess fat has everything to do with consuming more than one utilizes in the day, not necessarily the specific foods one chooses. Metabolism is the answer, and always has been. People are always looking to diet to control their excess fat, but if one really wants to eat whatever they want without gaining an ounce, the answer is exercise. If you are looking to avoid exercise, the only other way would be to control your intake.

Exercise a lot, and you can eat all you want. Exercise more and more, and you can eat more and more. Your body will also start to ‘talk’ to you. If you go and eat some junk food before or after exercising very hard, you will not feel well; your body saying “don’t eat that.” If you eat something your body likes, say, an apple, yippie, you feel energized. This is why those fat couch potatoes do not understand; because their body is not ‘talking’. It’s just sitting there doing nothing much at all.

That's my two-cents worth.

Answer 5

Yes they are. Peanuts have "good" fat in them so it can be good for you. (apart from making you put on weight if you eat too much). But be careful of some peanut butter brands - if they put too much oil through the peanut butter to keep it moist then some of the fatty oils can be "bad".

Answer 6

YES.
Peanut butter sandwiches are fattening, but it is a healthy fat. Its a natural fat. Try to eat whole grain bread versus white. Although fattening, pb sandwich offers nutrition that other fattening breakfast choices do not. I would keep eating them!

Answer 7

Its not the peanut butter that's fatten its the bread

Answer 8

Peanut Butter is really fattening

Answer 9

I don't think so unless you much gobs of peanut butter on your bread. I tablespoon is counted as 1 serving of fat and we need 3 servings a day.

Answer 10

Peanut butter takes the place of meat and if your scale say you are gaining weight cut it to half,,,,
