Peanut butter is high in fat yes, so I use less of it, and have it with two slices of white bread. The peanut butter I have has 6 grams of fat, 80 calories per 1 tbsp.
I use 1 tbsp of peanut butter and 2 slices of white bread.
Total calories: 80 + 190 = 270 cals
Total fat: 6 + 2 grams = 8, this gives 72 calories from fat (8x9)
Percentage: 72/270 = 27%
So, the safe range is usually 15-25. This is not far off that. I tend to be able to tolerate more high fat things during the afternoons, choosing lower fat meals for breakfast and supper. Everyone seems to tolerate fats differently, so it takes some trial and error to see how you do. I also suggest measuring out the peanut butter, when I used to make sandwiches I think I probably used about 2-3tbsp, and after measuring now I know what 1tbsp looks like!
