Cycle and Peanutbutter/jelly?

[musclehealth]

As many of ya know I started my cycle april 18th. Im still adjusting to the massive amounts of food im taking in. Lots of time on the toilet. I was wondering....is Peanutbutter and jelly senwiches ok for snacks? I have the all natural peanut butter that only uses peanuts,salt for its ingredients. I use minimal jelly(1/2 tea spoon). The bread is the whole grain health bread. I try to keep eat about ever 2.5 hrs. Its hard to get a healthy snack in while im in class.

Shouldn't hurt at all...Although I tend not to mix carbs, and fats together.

why not mix them? The peanut butter is a great fat.

I used to eat Natty Peanut and Banana sandwiches all the time when I cycled. Just be aware of fat gain.

Tends to exaggerate the insulin response and enhance lipogenesis. If you are on and training hard though it is a different story.

I was thinking of getting that stuff in the future. What does it taste like, and do you think it's good stuff?

sugar free jelly and some nice wholemeal bread & you're good to go, goes nicely with a choc shake. If you're bulking.

I eat about 5 tbsps of p.b. a day. It's high in calories and has a decent amount of protein. I also eat a couple of steaks a day. Although I would like to eat a little cleaner, it's just not realistic. 2 cups of 1% milk and 5 tbsps of p.b. is an easy 750 cals and 36 grams of protein. You can only eat so many chicken breasts and cans of tuna before the sight of them makes you wanna puke.
