739.0. "Peanutbutter ? on WW program" by MKFSA::GAYLE () Tue May 05 1992 17:58

    
    	Good morning, Everyone...
    
    	I've just started reading this conference and
    	do to the positive attitudes displayed here and the
    	encouragement you give each other, I have been
    	inspired to address my own weight problem, head on.
    
    	I'd like to start off first by, saying thank you
    	to all of you and second, if I may, ask a question.
    
    	Would anyone whose familiar with the Weight Watchers
    	Program, happen to know how to work peanut butter 
    	in the daily allowances?
    	
    	I'm a vegetarian and often eat peanut butter as 
    	a protein, however, I know it is also high in fat
    	( :-( damn!).  Soooo..for a tablespoon of pb, I
    	think it would be 1 unit of protein, but perhaps
    	2 units of fat, by chance?
	
    	Thanks in advance and I look forward to hearing
    	from you...
    
    	Cheers,
    	Gayle :-)
    

    Peanut butter can be counted 2 was on Weight Watchers.  You can count
    it as 1 tablespoon equaling 1 Protein and 1 Fat, or as 1 teaspoon
    equaling 1 Fat.
