What is a Wellness Examination? A wellness examination is a routine medical examination of a patient that is apparently healthy, as opposed to an examination of a patient that is ill. A wellness examination may also be called a 'check-up' or a 'physical examination'. The focus of a wellness visit is the maintenance of optimal health.
Peanut butter is also a good choice for healthy unsaturated fats. A sandwich made from 2 tablespoons of peanut butter, 1 tablespoon of any flavor of jelly and two slices of white bread has 376 calories, 13 grams of protein and 3.5 grams of dietary fiber. It has 16 grams of total sugar, which is a significant amount considering that the American Heart Association recommends limiting sugar intake to 12 grams daily for children, 20 grams for women and 36 grams for men.
NOTE: Peanut butter is not protein-dense. That is, two tablespoons of peanut butter, the amount in an average sandwich, provides about 7 grams of protein. In comparison, the calorie equivalent of turkey in a sandwich offers about 20 grams of protein. Athletes who weigh 140 pounds may need 70 to 100 grams protein per day; 200-pound athletes, 100 to 150 grams.
