I am going to eat my carb up meal within the hour, however I just realized that we are out of butter....what can I sub? peanut butter? margarine?

I use nat'l p-nut butter for my carb up. I never use whole butter or margarine. I can't wait to eat my carb bread in a few hours.. Enjoy!!

yeah, pb is my favorite, natural and chunky... thanks for the quick help!!!

Run4fun,

I like to use 2 tbsp p-butter in my 1 cup of oats and I omit the banana and have a handfull of sugar free choc. chips (until 5-6 weeks out then its the banana) it the oatmeal. When the natural p-b and chips melt its like a soft cookie. Ummmmmm, too bad carb day from me is still 2 days away

sulcop,
that sounds HEAVENLY.... its the little things like that that helps make this diet livable... I am 10 weeks out so I will have to try that and see how I respond!!.. yummy

I use 1.5 cups of rice as part of my carb meal. I normally use 1 TBS safflower oil as the fat component.

Did I hear penaut butter. I woke up this morning and the peanut butter monster left two dirty spoons in the sink with traces of peanut butter!

I know that peanut butter is good as a substitute when you have nothing else, but, aren't peanuts considered legumes? My understanding is that peanuts & peanut butter can promote estrogenic fat in some individuals.
