Is this okay as a pre-workout or late night snack? I do use white bread, and I know peanut butter has some fat in it, but it also contains protein, and makes me thirsty for milk, where I get another 20 grams of protein from. The Bread, Peanut Butter, and Milk together is probably a whole 30 grams of protein, some carbs for energy, and tastes good.
It's not junk food is it? Could I eat Peanut Butter and Jelly Sandwitches once a day while trying a fairly clean bulk and be okay?

I'd say a PB&J sandwich would be best consumed pre workout over any other time of the day. Studies show fat intake before working out increases fat lost during workout. Also, the carbs are beneficial for making sure glycogen is topped off and glucose in the bloodstream while working out. And to top it off, the incomplete amino acid profiles of grain and peanut butter mix to make a really complete protein. Might wanna add a bit of whey in there as well though.
Personally on a daily basis I'll stick to oats+whey preworkout and sometimes some added EVOO.History: Mar, 2001: 135lbs @ ~14% | Nov, 2004: 245lbs @ ~40% | Dec, 2006: 168lbs @ 5.5%ish | Nov, 2008: 177lbs @ 5.5%ish | Dec, 2016: 179lbs
