    I eat it (unsweetened, unsalted and no added oil) because a) it's yummy and b) I often come in under my calorie goals and need a boost. It does make me feel fuller for much longer.

    I dont eat it on days when I'm looking forward to a big meal or a dine out but yesterday I was at <1100 cals at 9:30pm and gaspng for some calories so had two buckwheat rice cakes with 30g pb divided between them and it made some of my calories up and allowed me to sleep without hunger pangs keeping me awake.

    All hail PB!

    My jars contain 1kg at 30g/serving (for two rice cakes) so that's 33 servings which might last a month earlier on. Looks like it might last longer now!

    Lemme help ya. There's this thing called PB2. You can get regular or with cocoa. It's powdered peanut butter without all the fat. You add water and mix it up and it's peanut butter.... at 45 cal for 2 Tbsp rather than 190 cal. I don't know how many brands of it exist but.... meh who cares lol it is a lifesaver.

    OMG have you ever had it on thai food with glass noodles and coconut cream sauce! The best ever. Also try mixing it with raw coconut butter and a little cashew milk as a fruit spread or on toast. It is pure heaven.

    PB2 is gross.

    I've never been brave enough to try it on its own. I do really like it stirred into Greek yogurt as flavoring, though.

    As for why peanut butter is so popular? It's tasty! I like almond butter too. It's sweeter since almonds are naturally sweet.

    Peanut butter is tasty, but fairly calorie dense so it's hard to eat your fill of it.

    Sometimes, if I haven't eaten enough thru the day I won't sleep. On those nights I have a pbj before bed with a glass of milk. Yum.....I agree you must measure it

    I spray my measuring spoon with a tiny bit of cooking spray...then the peanut butter comes right out.

    Best product ever!!!!!!! I love love love Peanut butter and man this stuff is good.
    85% less fat and calories yet all the taste. Fantastic in smoothies, oatmeal and every other recipe I've used it in. It is also quite inexpensive which shocked me.
    Enjoy. :)

    PB2 is a nice ingredient. I like to mix it with plain kefir for a post-workout protein drink. As a peanut butter substitute it tastes OK, but the texture is made of sadness and self-loathing.

    it seems like a lot of fit people are obsessed with peanut butter. I love pb too, but can somebody tell me why? I know it has protein but seems high in calories? Just wondering :)

    Bulkers are trying to gain muscle so are always on the lookout for calorie-dense high protein foods. Peanut butter fits the bill. Whey powder too....and apparently, chicken breasts.

    I found out all the fat-soluble vitamins are in the fat. So PB2 doesn't look so appealing any more.
