Peanut butter and jelly vs. deli meat/cheese sandwiches..?

Question

Just out of curiousity, which do you think is healthier...comparing calories, fat content, nutrional value, etc....?

Answer 1

I'll go with PB & J.

A deli sandwich is likely to contain condiments like mayonniase which can contribute to the fat and calorie content.

There's more meat and cheese on a deli sandwich too in relationship to the amount of peanut butter and jelly on a PB & J.

Answer 2

1

Answer 3

Peanut butter and jelly sandwiches provide nothing but fat and calories; deli meat and cheese sandwiches are a better option because the protein content is high in this option. it would be wholesome if you have some salad along with meat/cheese sandwiches

Answer 4

Both are loaded with calories. Think about the peanut butter, I believe 2 Tbs. have about 190 calories, but then think about the mayonaise its loaded with fat also. I would go with the PB & J sandwich though. I have a horrible sweet tooth and I love peanut butter. Sometimes I have a PB & J sandwich for dessert.

Answer 5

I think it all depends on what type of meat/ cheese you get and what type of peanut butter and jelly you'd use. But I believe if you use something like smart balance peanut butter and fresh jelly on whole wheat sugar free bread that that would be healthier.

Answer 6

neither is healthy. Both are loaded with artificial colors, flavors, chemicals, preservatives and unhealthy fats. Freshly ground almond or cashew butter would be a better choice

Answer 7

I'd go with the meat/cheese sandwich.

Answer 8

all natural peanut butter and all natural jelly

Answer 9

Nutritional Value..for sure:-)
