What should I spread on my toast? We ask this question every time we have toast, but what lay is best for us?
Vegemite
Pro: low sugar and fat
Con: high in salt and usually eaten with butter, which increases the fat contents
Peanut Butter
Pro: is rich in healthy fats, protein, and carbohydrates
Con It may have a lot more oil added and is high in calories
Jam and Honey
Pro: contains no fat and is low in sodium
Con Both are high in sugar, which, if it is not burned off, turns into fat
Tahini
Pro – has no sugar or salt and is a good source of protein
Con: Peanut butter is high in fat and calories.
Avocado
Pros: High in monosaturated fats, a good source of potassium and vitamin E
Con It is high in calories. Please don’t overdo it; otherwise, the benefits will outweigh any negatives.
