    I usually have a tbls of PB and a banana every day and sometimes I put peanut butter on a piece of sara lee 45 calorie 100% wheat bread and roll my banana in it and eat it that way. Love my PB! :love:

    As long as it fits into your calories, then no problem - it has protein which is important to keep you healthy and active.

    I also eat peanut butter almost every day. Unless you have an allergy to peanuts, it's very healthy!

    I can't buy peanut butter... I eat the jar in about 3 days lol. I have no control when it's in the house. Gone I think 3 days without it. May get some next week though to celebrate my birthday :wink:

    Nothing wrong with a little PB! My brother eats 2 big spoonfuls of it everyday for breakfast and he is quite fit (collegiate athlete...I am jealous).

    Beyond calories, watch out for trans fats (if you didn't know, they can list trans fats as 0g if it has <.5g/serving...which can add up if you are having it every day)...just so tough on the heart and the cholesterol. Just check the ingredient list whenever you pick out your jar and make sure there are no partially hydrogenated oils. I hear fully hydrogenated oils are better, but still...a product w/o anything "hydrogenated" in it is probably better haha

    Or if you want to really regulate your consumption, you could make it at home from scratch! That way you only have a limited supply and have to put in an effort to get more if you run out...you'll probably eat less. Ration the peanut butter ;) It's actually pretty simple to make

    I hope I don't sound preachy at all...I hate when someone gives an unsolicited opinion on their food choices. I hope I didn't cross into that territory from helpful to annoying!
