Well, to make the story short... i LOVE peanut butter. However it is extremely fatty and the reduced fat peanut butter just doesn't hit the spot.I am trying to find something that will satisfy my PB craving Does anyone have any suggestions?

    If you haven't tried PB2 yet, do. I bought some recently at a local sporting store and it's very close to regular peanut butter for 45 calories and 1.5 grams of fat!

    PB2 is really good, especially for the amount of fat grams you are saving yourself. If you eat it alone, you can tell it's not the same, but if you have it in something like a peanut butter and jelly sandwich, you can't tell the difference. I think they have chocolate peanut butter, too, in that brand...I haven't tried it yet, but it sure sounds good!

    There's a store locator link. If there isn't any place in your area, they ship and Amazon also sells it.

    Me too.

    Try almond butter? Most nut butters are actually quite healthy for you, but unfortunately are packed with calories.

    I say nothing equals peanut butter
    just eat less--half a helping - be skimpy and enjoy
    I can't give it up
    nothing to me compares

    I use PB2...... I add it to my protein shakes and its really good.As for replacing Peter Pan or JIF, its not going to taste like that at all, because it doesnt have all the sugar added to it.

    I've been eating soy nut butter lately...it has 20 fewer cals per serving than reduced fat peanut butter, but it's really not much of a difference. I think I'm going to try out that PB2! Looks awesome.

    Peanut butter contains excellent fats. Studies have demonstrated that people who routinely eat foods like nuts and avocados tend not to gain weight over time. The serving size is key.
