Peanut Butter Crackers?

[hicarbon]

I see most people mentioning snacks or small meals throughout the day, so I was just curious, would it be a bad idea to eat those cheese crackers with peanut butter in between as a snack throughout the day?

Crackers are simple carbs, which I personally stay away from.

Peanut Butter (natural that is) is good for you, but I wouldn't have it all through the day.

i agree. plus those packaged ones are super high in fat and calories. i would avoid them.

they're loaded with trans fats and other ingredients no one should have in their diet.

I agree both with shimmering and spockafina. These PB crackers are bad stuff. Stick with good old natural peanut butter.

what kind of peanut butter (brands) are good for you I am trying to lose weight would I be able to eat them?

a lot of people on here recommend "natural" peanut butter but personally i stay away from all peanut. it's high in fat and calories, and you really have to watch your portion control to not overdo it. shame too, as i love the stuff, LOL!

i use whey protein shakes a lot to get a boost in protein, myself.

only buy Natural PB - the only ingredients listed should be peanuts & salt, or just peanuts.

PB (and most nuts) are full of healthy fats that are important for a well-balanced diet for weightloss. As Shimmering said, just be sure to measure your portions as PB is very calorie-dense
