Throughout the year I will be sharing simple recipes for losing weight and also gaining muscle. This simple recipe I'm about to share could go either way, weight loss or muscle gain.

2 pieces of Ezekiel Whole Grain Bread. This is the real stuff, no enriched wheat flour. I buy mine at Trader Joe's in case your wondering.

1.5 tbsp Trader Joe's Creamy Peanut Butter.

If your looking for a healthy weight loss snack only have 1 slice of bread w/peanut butter(316 calories), instead of the two I had. This meal/snack has good percentages for each nutrient. The fat is high, but it's unsaturated fat.
