    You are now enlightened.

    wait, so the Buddha dedicated his life to seeking enlightenment and found it through meditation and the middle way....

    yet you're saying he could have skipped all of that and just learned the fact that peanut butter contains more fat than protein and that because of this some people don't think it should count as a protein source....

    ..... okay.

    Air is not an oxygen source!!!!!

    It's 78% nitrogen and only 21% oxygen.

    Yeah, what's up with Quinoa anyway? 14g for nearly 400 calories? Like you said, great if you're looking for a grain because hey, incidental protein, but pushed as an actual source? Meh

    I'm a vegetarian, so most of my protein sources have minimal protein in them. All the hype about quinoa, I finally grabbed a box and bought it without actually reading the label. I got it home and read the label and was kind of chicked it was so little for so many calories. I never opened it and ended up donating it to a food bank.

    I'm a fan of quinoa. I eat it instead of rice or pasta most of the time.

    I think we all clearly see what peanut Butter has in it, when we log it in our own diaries. So not sure what your point is here.

    To be fair to the OP, when someone asks for ways to up their protein, peanut butter is almost always suggested. It is a protein source, however, there are lots of other options with far more protein. Plus, if we are talking about staying under a calorie limit and macros, peanut butter isn't the easier source to up protein and hit both of these targets.
    I tend to use peanut butter more of fat source than protein, but to say it isn't a protein source is kinda silly. I do "get" her point, but the delivery was lacking.
    I'm a vegetarian and for me pb is good because I'm usually lacking in the fat and protein departments

    my doctor is pushing pb a lot in my diet, as i am a recovering anorexic and need lots of healthy fats which pb provides. yes, it is a source of fat but saying it is not a protein source is not accurate. if someone is trying to lose weight then obviously they don't want to have too much pb and set their macros over. but for anyone maintaining, gaining or even losing and only eating a tbsp or two then there is nothing wrong with it. fats are good for you :]

    I'm a vegetarian, so most of my protein sources have minimal protein in them. All the hype about quinoa, I finally grabbed a box and bought it without actually reading the label. I got it home and read the label and was kind of chicked it was so little for so many calories. I never opened it and ended up donating it to a food bank.

    I'm a fan of quinoa. I eat it instead of rice or pasta most of the time.
    If you enjoy it, great. It isn't my favorite thing, though. I'd rather eat pasta.

    Yeah, what's up with Quinoa anyway? 14g for nearly 400 calories? Like you said, great if you're looking for a grain because hey, incidental protein, but pushed as an actual source? Meh

    My husband was repulsed the night he made spaghetti and I put marinara sauce and parmesan on my quinoa. I still like my pasta though.

    Well, you can have both - quinoa pasta (made with quinoa flour). It is sold at health food stores.

    But I don't care for the taste or texture of quinoa. I'll stick with my pasta (which actually has just as much protein ...).

    Minimal protein? How about Tofu? I'm a meat-eater, but I also enjoy Tofu. My Organic shop here has numerous types. All are high in protein - yes, Soja protein. But it is quite delicious.

    Air is not an oxygen source!!!!!

    It's 78% nitrogen and only 21% oxygen.


    This sums up my thinking on this topic nicely and has just the right amount of snark attached.
