    The amount that puts you over your target caloric intake -- or puts you under your protein and/or carb goals for the day.

    For one sitting I would say a jar is too much. Realistically, I sometimes eat 4T a day, usually at least 2, but as long as I am under my cals for the day I don't care too much. They say it is healty fat so I figure there are worse things out there.

    Because I love apples and PB, I have up to 6T of Smuckers Natural with 2 apples. It's not everyday... or I'd be in trouble lol. I had someone look at my diary one day and ask if I'd made a mistake with my logging ;-)

    I stick with about 3-4 tablespoons a day because other than that, I'm just dooming myself to going over my calories or staying under and being hungry all day... heh. It is my favorite, though.

    I concur!

    I sometimes eat 6 TBSP a day... depending on my calories for that day, whether I skipped a meal because of errands or whatever. I make up most deficits with peanut butter because it's golden delicious heaven on a spoon...

    The only issue with peanut butter is that it can be problematic to track. What most people count a 2tbs is usually much more. (If you have a digital scale, weigh out what you believe to be 2tbs and compare it to the nutrition label --- you'll most likely find that it's more than you think).

    I eat it right out of my measuring spoon... and then go back for more...I even double dip because hey--it's my jar of peanut butter. Touch it, and you may lose a finger. It's MY YUMMY!
