Peanut butter is a great source of protein and as long as it's within your calorie goals don't limit what you eat unless you have dietary restrictions.

It might be a great source of protein if you smear a bit on some chicken breast... But otherwise, no, it's not.

If you're eating it with celery, you might try putting it only on one stick and eat that first. The flavor lingers so you may be able to eat a couple more celery sticks and still enjoy the peanut taste for fewer calories. I find natural PB (the kind that's just ground up peanuts and salt) is better and more peanutty.

Doesn't work for me. Not even in maintenance. Just doesn't fit how I like it. But of course you can lose weight and eat peanut butter.

I really liked some peanut butter on whole wheat toast (1 slice) on my way to playing hockey. Got a good energy boost, plus the exercise probably burned most of the calories!
