Peanut Butter

So, it's day 4 of the ABC diet.  I stuck to my 300 yesterday with salad and veggies and a lemon sorbet at the meal, which means it's 400 today.  I'm breaking already though, feel way too tired and distracted.  Read about the Skinny Girl and the Healthy Skinny girl diets.  Don't want to do the Healthy Skinny Girl diet - calories are way too high - but I like that fruit/veg doesn't count in daily calorie amount.  Means when I'm tempted to eat I'll be even more likely to pick a healthier option.  I'm going to try and persevere with ABC though.

Anyway, peanut butter.  I LOVE peanut butter!!  With veggies, on a sandwich, in a meal (mmm, peanut satay) but I hardly eat it now, since it's so high in fat and calories.  BUT it does have health benefits!  1tsp is 32 calories, is cholesterol free and provides 1.33g of protein.  Your body still needs fat and protein, even if you're not eating much, and a teaspoon a couple of times a week is a good way of satisfying my cravings.
