    I say fine in moderation. One of my regular snack options is a slice of bread with a light spread of peanut butter.

    I've switched to almond or cashew nut paste, healthier and tastier. As people have already said the natural peanut butter is good for you. All the others are just loaded with trans fat, sugar and salt.

    I was wondering if someone was going to go there.

    I eat natural peanut butter daily. It's good for you and filling.

    I love Peanut Butter. I normally buy the natural kinds but the last time my husband went to the store he bought Skippy and by the time I realized it my son had already opened it. So I have been eating that lately but only 1tbsp. each day.

    My favorite peanut butter is the Trade Joe's Crunchy one. The ingredients are simply Peanuts and Salt.

    A few people have also mentioned it, but looking at the ingredients is important.

    Here's the ingredients in Creamy Jiff: ROASTED PEANUTS AND SUGAR, CONTAINS 2% OR LESS OF: MOLASSES, FULLY HYDROGENATED VEGETABLE OILS (RAPESEED AND SOYBEAN), MONO AND DIGLYCERIDES, SALT.

    Why add sugar if you don't need to? It's also important to note that "Reduced Fat" peanut butter often has added sugar and salt, so just buy the regular, natural kind!

    I make my own. Sometimes I leave it plain, sometimes I put honey in it. When I want a mix up I make almond butter.

    I eat it because it's yummy and an easy way to get fat into my diet.

    Peanut butter has always been a comfort food for me. Now though, I limit myself to a tablespoon at a time--sometimes on crackers or in oatmeal. Sometimes just lick it out of the tablespoon! I make sure it doesn't have extra fats or sugars in it. I'm interested in trying PB2. Can't find it locally yet, so will have to order some, but first want to research just what it contains. Anyone else know what all's in it?

    The label says made with roasted peanuts sugar and salt. I use it daily and love it!

    Love, love, love it! :love: I just eat it in moderation. Usually a tablespoon with an apple or 1/2 of a banana as a healthy snack or on a multigrain english muffin. It does pack in some calories though so I only eat it a few times a week.

    I LOVE peanut butter. I'm not a huge meat eater--not against it, it's just not something I eat a lot of--but I tend to crave peanut butter, presumably for the protein. It's weird, but the taste also just makes me happy. Reminds me of childhood, I guess.

    agreed with everyone it is full of healthy fats :) if you go the natural kind - remember though peanuts are NOT NUTS they are legumes

    and because I'm Paleo I can't have it soooo I go with Almond Butter haha

    I LOVE peanut butter and work it into my plan daily (especially stirred into steel cut oats). I only buy the natural varities.

    I do the same thing. Natural PB in oatmeal is delicious. Yummmm

    I love peanut butter. And my PT always tells me that fat is better than sugar so I don't mind eating it.

    PB2 has proven to be a good source of peanut butter for me. It's delicious when added to chocolate protein shakes!

    I try not to touch it because if I do I won't stop eating it. It triggers huge binges for me. I'm an all or nothing kind of person, moderation and I just don't get along.

    And I thought I was the only one.. I couldn't of said it better myself, I'm like that with most sweets actually!
