About Peanut Butter and Jelly Sandwich
Two slices of white bread, two tablespoons of peanut butter and a tablespoon of jelly. A PB&J is about 390 kcal — small to look at, but peanut butter is one of the most calorie-dense spreads there is.
Tip: Measure the peanut butter once with a real tablespoon; most people spread closer to three. Whole-wheat bread adds fiber for the same calories.
