I mean carbs in the bread, proteins and fat in the peanut butter. Use wholemeal bread for fibers.

Or are proportions off compared to recommendations?

    It will never stop being disturbing that there’s sugar in peanut butter in the US. If I didn’t know it was true I’d think it was a joke. Outside the US peanut butter is just peanuts and salt, that’s it.

      In my experience it’s usually just peanuts. That’s the only kind I buy. You can find it with sugar and / or salt but that’s a minority.

      It really is weird how US has to ruin every kind of food to make it more unhealthy. All this while not having a real healthcare too.

      The bread has about three times as much sugar in it too

      So basically to answer OP’s question -

      No. That’s dessert 😂

      It’s not nearly as much sugar added as I expected. Jif, which seems to be the most popular brand, has 2 grams of added sugar in a 33 gram serving, for a total of 3 grams of sugar (peanuts seem to naturally produce some sugar). Comparing that to Costco’s Kirkland Select natural peanut butter, which only has peanuts and salt for ingredients, a 32 gram serving has 1 gram of total sugar. So the total sugar Jif adds is twice as much as would naturally be present, but still makes up only 6% of the serving. It’s sweeter, but not dramatically sweeter. It’s not like it’s been turned into Nutella, which has 19 grams of added sugar in a 37 gram serving, or 51% of the serving.
