It's my downfall. Do you eat it in moderation? Just not eat it at all right now?

i try moderation and then i just quit it for awhile. I love it so much that moderation hardly works for me0
-
Moderation. I like mine on plain rice cakes once in a while. I miss those huge PB&J sandwiches0
-
moderation and peanut butter just don't sound right in the same sentence.0
-
Everything in moderation.
While losing weight I ate it. It's a good, healthy fat. It's still a staple in my diet, I probably eat a tbsp every other day plus other nuts.0 -
Eat PB2, it's half the calories. Or if you don't go with that, at least eat something natural like Peanut Butter and Co. or Trader Joe's.
Avoid brands like Jif and Skippy.0 -
moderation for sure. i cant stay away from it so i just limit myself. if i stay completely away from it, i will end up overindulging on it sooner or later.0
-
Moderation! I eat 2 Tbs, no more, almost every day. It really helps with satiety, and, eaten with a banana, cuts my cravings for sweets, especially baked goods.0
-
1-2 tbls. a day for me.
0 guilt for eating peanut butter.0 -
Try switching to almond butter, it's a healthier alternative. :happy: Try almond butter with some celery. Tasty snack. Moderation in your reduction stage.0

Occasionally: When I am starving hungry at night at 2am... LOL I have a tbsp of reduced fat Peter pan crunchy for 100 cals. Then I can fall asleep.0

I LOVE peanut butter, and I eat it every day. Couldn't go without it!!!! Not and maintain my sanity anyway.0

Yes, I have started measuring it out. Sometimes I measure two portions if I need to eat more at the end of the day. Peanut butter is one of my favorites and a staple in my diet.0

Damn, you beat me to it! ^^This^^
Almond butter is awesome, but you also have to have it in moderation. I'm usually about 1 tablespoon a day, in my protein shake. But I also have an ounce of almonds every day.0 -
If you spread it on something warm you don't use nearly as much. You get all of the peanut butter taste but eliminate tons of calories.
I love it on english muffins in the morning.0 -

PB2 for me I love it and now I can have my peanut butter and eat it too :-)0 -
Love PB! I am really careful to measure the portion and I have it an hour before running on a slice of toast... yum. I also find that eating that makes me not miss sweet stuff quite so much. Not sure why, must be because it is rich.
Don't cut it out, you will regret it!0 -
I eat a tablespoon of peanut butter almost everyday for breakfast on a piece of toasted wheat bread. I always get the Great Value Reduced Fat Peanut Butter and it fills me up till lunch time.0
-
I go to the local nutrition house and pour a batch of peanuts into the grinder and grind them....that's my peanut butter...
it's thick, it's filling..it has NO additives and it doesn't take much before I'm full...
so no...i don't eat it in moderation...i go full out in gluttony...but with natural ground peanuts...gluttony is only about 1 tablespoon of the thick tasty goodness.0 -
Yes, I do eat it in moderation. I typically have two tablespoons. It helps keep me sated by eliminating hunger instantly.0
-
I eat peanut butter pretty frequently now to up my caloires and protein, which i sometimes don't get enough of, and it is a filling snack0
-
Another yummy alternative is sold at Trader Joe's. It's called Better N' Peanut Butter. Its consistency is a little softer/runnier than regular PB, but the reduced calories more than makes up for it, imho.
Super yummy!
I also use PB2 in smoothies, but I don't think it makes for a good consistency when you mix with water, so that's why I have Better N'PB on hand.0 -
I usually stick to it on my "cheat days", because...well....if I am gonna have it.....I don't wanna skimp......prob not my best plan....but...;)0
-
OMG - I have been on a PB binge lately! Can't get enough.0
-
My afternoon snack is usually apple slices and 2 tablespoons of peanut butter.
But I try to always use "better n peanut butter". Its less calories and fat (and this particular version is also low sodium). And it tastes just the same to me.
For smoothies/protein shakes, I just bought PB2.0 -
LOVE it. Eat it when I want it. I have tried lower calorie/natural ones and nope! Just don't sit down and eat it out of the jar.0
-
I eat smuckers natual PB almost everyday. I weigh it out on a rice cake only 16 grams (1TBS) 100 cals plus 50 cals of caramel rice cake.I have heard of PB2 but haven't seen it anywhwere. I don't know if it has any additives.0
-
I don't like the texture of whole nuts, so a large portion of my healthy fats come from peanut butter. I probably have a serving a day.0
-
I eat peanut butter everyday for lunch. I eat Bees Knees peanut butter and a Mama Lupe low carb tortilla every day. As long as you workout and burn more calories than you take in you can eat whatever you want!!!!0
