Well..I am the kind of person who endeavors to keep trying healthy stuff..Recently, I bought this peanut butter from my favourite supermarket store..And it was the crunchy type..Ummm..Peanut butter is yummy..but BEWARE too much of it isn't good folks. But a quick Google search gave me some very astonishing as well as confusing facts :|
The search revealed that peanut butter is actually high in saturated fats which is good for health, its good for a healthy heart and its good cholestrol. Plus some of its other benefits
-- peanuts = protein
-- more filling, once u eat two spoons wont feel hungry for 3-4 hours at a stretch
I felt its best as weekend breakfast with toasted whole wheat bread and a nice cup of steaming tea :D
Now let me come to Prunes, the Sunsweet California Prunes are really good as a snack. 3 prunes = 61, as per reference from caloriecount

I felt they really satisfy your craving for sweet. Plus can you imagine they have NO FAT..Yessssss, they have no fat :) What can be a better snack than a ZERO FAT SNACK :D A reference for some reading as I can't stop searching about how healthy prunes are :D

Thanks for sharing the info abt PB(no reference to prison break :P)... I had no idea that it could be good. I guess it has the same pros that one associates with the "good" variety of cheese[Keeps you full longer and takes longer to get digested thereby keeping ur metabolism up] aside from the obvious addition of protein thanks to peanuts.
While you are onto trying energy giving, sweet-tasting yet low in fat content food, you should give Dates a shot(you can easily avail a seedless pack from any of the nearby retail outlets).
Also, when going for Prunes as a snack, keep in mind that it does have Sugars which if not burnt will accumulate AS fat. Beware of that!
@Heena:Welcome to the world of blogging...keep posting
Thanks for the dates info Sanjay...Will surely look it up..As for Prunes having sugars maybe you are right..as they are very sweet :)
