    PB > OP. I'll eat it til I die. Protein or not. It's better than eating crap.

    he never said not to eat it

    people, come on, you're better than this

    I know but he's still re-posting the same dumb *kitten* topic that has been on here OVER and OVER again.

    and you're somehow still missing the point

    Oh my, look at that. You've strung together a series of images to create a message. How clever of you. Bravo!

    I don't consider PB a good source of protein either. I consider the ratio "10 calories per 1g protein" as a good source.

    What if I cover myself with the peanutbutter?


    Seriously, I figured out a while ago that peanutbutter kind of sucks as a source of protein. Along with the calories and veritable lack of protein, it is extremely high in fat. I love the stuff though... :cry:

    If you cover yourself with peanut butter - I will hunt you down and eat you! lol

    I love peanut butter - it doesn't love me back though :(

    You know... the OP has posted valuable information. Is there a reason why you have a problem with that? Yeah, the topic has been posted over and over. Obviously, people still need to know. Who are you to tell him what he can and can't post?!?!?!

    I think it was his holier-than-thou attitude about vegans that got under people's skin. You can be be an *kitten* and make a valid point but that still means you're an *kitten*.

    P.S. - I saw noticed some people were talking about vegan bodybuilders and it reminded me of an article I read recently. Sorry if this has already been posted:

    Now, if they say, "but I'm vegan, how do I get protein with no animal products?" The proper answer to that would be, "I don't know, the same way you ice skate uphill, I suppose."

    Soy and TVP :flowerforyou:

    Not a vegan or vegetarian (I like meat just as much as the next girl) but sometimes it's nice to switch it up!

    Since we are talking about nuts, (and because I have such a low post count and want to raise it :wink: ), have you all tried unsweetened Almond Milk? I mix it with my protein powder and it is awesome. Tastes like a real milkshake. Only 35 calories per 8 ounces. Not a great source of protein though......but mixed with protein powder, who cares.

    Also, no cholesterol and lactose free. I have become a big fan of Almond Milk.


    ....and peanut butter.

    I love this stuff :)

    I can't believe this topic has any controversy.

    All he said is that peanut butter is not a good source of protein for an average dieter for the calories.

    The calorie/satiating/protein factor is low and I agree 100%. Who can get full off of 200 cals of PB?

    With that being said, it tastes really good, and can be used to increase fats in your diet, but if you're using them as a good protein source, there are so many other things better to use.

    It's simply not a good source of protein. It is a yummy and easy addition to your diet though, should most of your protein already be covered! :b

    My husband had a peanut butter granola bar for a midnight snack and then got back in bed and breathed right in my face. I usually like the smell of peanut butter but that was a gross smell to wake up to.
    Boyfriend gets mad that I ask him to brush his teeth before bed, but he always eats a bed time snack and frequently has peanut butter and it smells so delicious that I need him to brush his teeth lol

    Good post and I agree, and additionally I don't understand how people continually list foods as being "good sources of protein" when they really aren't protein dense.

    Let's talk politics and religion! I think that might be a less divisive topic than peanut butter.

    My older brother used to eat spoonfuls of it, and then scream at me. His breath was awful. I love peanut butter, but still shudder a bit when I get the first whiff out of the jar.

    LOL!!!! No, really... sitting at my desk, supposed to be working and I burst out laughing. Thanks for this, I needed it!!!
