Hi All,
what do people think of peanut butter sandwiches (2tbsp) and hommus for dipping with wasa crackers (moderate amounts say 2-4tbsp = 100 cals). thanks!

I'm personally staying away from peanut butter just b/c I ate a lot of it when I conceived my boys. I've had it as a snack (peanut butter balls/cups) lately but that's it. I mean snack as in dessert I guess. I know snacking is a no no on LE.
I don't eat hummus but isn't it quite high in protein? I guess just watch your limits. Maybe watch the sodium as well. My second son used to like it as a snack and I remember certain brands being high in sodium.Mama to four sweet boys

Yes it's quite high in sodium but I have a small amount of the reduced fat one with pitta for lunch quite often. I haven't been watching sodium though. I would find it pretty much impossible to stick to the diet if I was also cutting back on sodium! I don't have peanut butter.

I think hummus in moderation is great for pink. I know atomic ate it when she swayed. I would not eat PB daily but small amounts once or twice a week are fine. I have a rice cake with PB and berry jam a few times a month.

Maiden - that's what I thought. I don't know if the tahini idea is still current or not! I either have pitta or bagel with either low fat houmous or cottage cheese for lunch, with cucumber and then quite often crumpets and strawberry jam after.

I eat tahini in small amounts, with fresh garlic even, as a salad dressing. Most hummus doesn't have very much tahini in it. I ate a fair bit of store bought hummus myself last year, but lately I'd rather eat cheese than anything else with fat or protein! Hummus is definitely more pink friendly than the cheese I like, sigh.

both fine in dietary amounts. Ate lots when TTC my DD
If you are one of the people trying to mix and match the diets, you may want to go easy on them or use tahini instead.!!! Questions??
