thanks for ur help <3 julia

If you are just trying to lose weight then, as long as the rice cakes and the PB are fitting into your calorie requirement, they are perfectly fine.

I would suggest you add some protein to the snack (eg: add some 1% cottage cheese to one of the rice cakes) which will turn it into a small meal and help fill you up and keep you full (so you will 'snack' less). You might also want to add some fibre to the meal as well (eg: add some celery sticks).
