could also eat lots of peanut butter and jelly sandwiches

Peanut butter and jelly is horrible for you. Peanut butter just has a bunch of sugar in it.

[yummyfajitas]

That may be true for some brands. Smuckers (the kind in my fridge) contains only peanuts and salt.

[pmorici]

As it is the brand in mine but a lot of people eat that trash, Jiffy, or Skip for example, and you might as well just each a candy bar at that point.

You keep saying this, but if you browse the Peanut Butter's here http://caloriecount.about.com/calories-j-m-creamy-natural-pe...

You'll find that most commercial peanut butters only have 2g or so more of sugar per serving then their natural counterparts.

[evgen]

The serving size for peanut butter is also around 2T (~30g) so that 2g of sugar is basically going to double the sugar content of the serving...

[mikeryan]

Yeah but 3g is < 10% of the 40g of recommended sugar in a day and way less then the 50g in a Snickers bar.

My guilty snack - peanut butter and nutella sandwiched between two tortillas.

I call it the Tortilla Abomination.

A very interesting typo-- Jif or Skippy, I think you mean.

I'd be more worried about the partially hydrogenated soybean oil isn't so great.
