Ate a PB sandwich post workout, will I gain fat?

[gotigers]

I'm trying to cut a few lbs. gained from holidays and ate a PB sandwich on whole grain bread after a cardio workout today. Will I gain fat? Calories are still 500 under maintenace for the day.

I did cardio today - no weight lifting.

Edit: Also my weight is not correct, I am 185.

[cyco85]

No.

Uh oh, prepare for the fat to pile on!

I've read that after a workout your body is in needs for carbs and protein to go to the muscles and it's a hostile evniornment if you eat fats, it causes them to be stored.

Postworkout today I ate 2 cups of brown rice, 2 cups of spinach, and 2 pouches of tuna for that reason.

HERESY!

Back on the subject... does two PB sandwichs and a protein shake count as fat piling :< ?

Oh god... I am watching the moobs (Man boobs) growing QQ.

Back on the subject. If you are under ya maintenance you are doing fine.

Fit your peanut butter, eggs, butter, whole milk ... whatever ... into your macros and keep to your total calorie goal. People assume that a lot of foods that are rich in fats are bad for you on a cut ... but quite the contrary. They're MOST important for you on a cut because they'll give you the dietary fat you need for proper hormone sythesis.

Drink the milk. Eat the peanut butter. Eat the whole damn egg.

Eat your protein.
Eat your carbs.
Eat your fat.

Fit it into your daily macros = profit.

I learned the hard way what happens when you restrict fat from your diet.

[th3pwn3r]

Alot of protein in a PB sandwhich,

You're joking.

[msm00b]

Yeah PB is a reasonable source of protein, but per serving you get a lot more fat than you do protein. PB sandwich ends up being more fat/carbs than protein. Not saying it's not a good healthy food to eat ... but if you're looking for "sources of protein" you'd be better off with a lot of other things.

Yeppers! I sure as hell love peanut butter but I consume it when I've been too low in fat for too long. And besides, a single tablespoon is just barely enough to cover a slice of bread. Those calories can add up very fast if you're not careful. That's probably the only thing I'd ever measure out with measuring spoons.

Someone please neg the troll. On several different threads. I'm on recharge

[eappleton1]

i got you

[psychodiver9]

Thanks. Or maybe she's on to something. If you inject pregnant female hormones you can eat as many PB sands that you want

[teamgenetics]

no, but peanut butter isnt a good post workout food... you want fast digesting, peanut butter digest slowly

[crockett07]

Speed of digestion and meal timing make very little difference.
