    I eat peanut butter almost every day. It has not slowed down my weight loss in the least, but I make sure to weight it with a food scale and I make sure it fits in my day. Most mornings my breakfast is a banana, cut in half filled with creamy peanut butter, topped with 100 calorie greek yogurt and 20 grams of granola. Yummy and filling (I almost never start getting hungry until about 15 minutes before lunch) I've never tried PB2 and I really have no desire to.

    There are many foods more unhealthy than peanut butter, but indulge in moderation anyway. It's loaded with sugar and fat along with some good items associated with peanuts.
    I like to slice bananas on wheat bread with an unsweetened version that's not too good alone, but mixed with fruit on bread - GREAT!

    I love peanut butter too. It does have a lot of fat, but so what. Our bodies need fat so I might as well get it from something I love.

    I don't eat it every day, I would say I probably eat it once or twice a week, on average.

    Peanut butter, and all nut butters provide good fat that is beneficial to the heart. But just like anything else, too much of it can be unhealthy and fattening. Just be careful about the serving you provide yourself with. Can't sit there and eat a whole jar, like I really really wish I could do. :'(

    YES. Then I'll make a quick rum extract and mix it in.

    That girl understands nothing about nutrition. We NEED fat in the diet...you can't eliminate it completely and be healthy. Peanut butter is one of the best sources of monounsaturated fat...which is VERY healthy. It also is a good way to supplement protein. One tablespoon of natural peanut butter is 95 calories...1 or 2 spoonfuls are very easy to fit into most diets. As long as you aren't eating half the jar, it is extremely good for you.

    And it tastes great.

    I saw this thread and was hoping to find info on the best brand out there. Love PB as well, and also have realized how many calories, fat, etc it has :flushed: I haven't been able to convert completely to natural PB, too.... pastey, dry, I don't know how to describe it, so I am looking for advice on the best brands, least sugar, closest to natural? Any ideas?

    Buy natural peanut butter...the only ingredients are peanuts and salt...no sugar or anything else added.

    Trader Joe's make a great one. Whole Foods' 365 brand is also good. Both taste pretty much the same.
