    My take is that if you enjoy it just weigh out your portion and enjoy it.

    I don't eat a ton of it because it is calorie dense, but I love chocolate peanut butter cup Talenti (gelato) and I put 16 grams of peanut butter in my greek yogurt sometimes.

    SugaryLynx, my thoughts exactly. Will you marry me?

    Try the peanuts and salt only PB. It tastes fantastic even without sugar and oil.

    Eat a LITTLE of what you crave, because eating a carrot won't solve the craving, and you will just eat PB afterward. .

    I live peanut butter. I eat it with a spoon all the time, last night included. I find it a great way to get some calories after a workout when it's late at night and I'm not hungry.

    Great protein source, and if you workout you handle the calories.

    Peanut butter is delicious nectar of the gods

    Seconded.

    Third-ed.

    Fourth-ed-ed?? I love the stuff...eat it every night with some dark chocolate as a snack. It fits in my macros so I got for it :-)
  • I eat it occasionally, but I am not overly fussed on it. It doesn't really seem worth the calories to me. Nutella on the other hand, I could eat straight from the jar, so yummy :).

    Thanks for your replies everyone. Don't get me wrong I do care about the nutrients and the protein too. I normally like almond butter, but PB will always have a special place on my shelf or should I say tongue.

    I love it. Good source of protein. Almond butters are also good

    I never cared much for it before I began here. Hardly ever ate it.
    Now I find myself craving it, WTH? I have it once a week for breakfast on a toasted English muffin with sliced banana. I tried the PB2, but it is not quite the same, but a lot lower in calories.

    I find nut butters are trouble foods for me because I have a really hard time putting on the brakes and limiting myself to a very small amount, and with peanut butter, a little more packs a huge calorie wallop.

    Also, if you are going to eat it, make sure to weigh it rather than just going by measuring spoons!

    I had a hard time eating even a natural peanut butter in moderation, peanut butter is a trigger food for me. I switched to natural almond butter which I love maybe even more so than peanut butter, but I can eat almond butter in moderation and I eat it pretty much daily, sometimes twice daily. It's a good healthy protein/ fat. I work it into may daily calories and it's all good.

    Yep, you add water to it. They sell it at Target now. It is with the regular peanut butter.
