Let's talk about Peanut Butter!

I eat the living **** out of peanut butter. I am worse than my dog when it comes to the stuff If it fits in my caloires its good.

Oh my, I love my peanut butter. I have my Adam's PB on a large burrito shell and call it a Adams peanut butter wrap!

I can't do peanut butter because once I start, I will NOT stop!

Love my PB! In my Lo Mein, in my Chili, on my pancakes, in my ice cream, on a spoon. Wish it were calorie free. :smooched:

I have an apple with 2 Tbsp of peanut butter for breakfast like 4 or 5 times a week. Yummy!

I can't do peanut butter because once I start, I will NOT stop!

Sadly, me too.

I used to love it on bananas or in oatmeal.

I have to go now and have a cry. :sad:

I'm sorry, OP, I didn't even answer your question. Peanut butter is a-ok if you can limit your portions to fit in to your calorie allotment for the day. :happy:

I eat it frequently but limit it to 1 serving (2 tablespoons) and incorporate it into my calories for the day.

This! I live alone and probably go through a jar a week. Tuna, beef and Peanut butter are my 3 main protein sources, but not all at once!

Peanut butter rocks!

I'm not the biggest peanut butter fan nor am I a diabetic but I have been using fifty fifty low glycemic peanut butter no sugar added its still got the calories but not the sugar. I saves me a little. If its your krypto buy the mini cups and keep it at work so you only eat it when there. Or just have a single serving---Good luck!

I LOVE LOVE LOVE peanut butter. I make my own out of roasted peanuts *lightly salted* in a food processor. I only allow myself 28 grams per day because I know me. If I kept the jar out...it would be gone before I realized it so I get out my portion and put the jar back up.

I DO got through a jar a week! I'm addicted to it. I'll skimp on something else just so I can have Peanut butter.

Like I can eat it by the spoon fulls!!

But does it have bad fat or just the good fats?

Read the ingredients. Don't buy anything with partially hydrogenated oils!
Transfats are very bad for you.
I buy the natural kind with just peanuts and a little salt. You can also grind your own peanuts at some markets.

PB2 is a pretty good replacement. It's a powdered peanut butter you mix with water. It has 85% less fat calories than regular and is only 45 calories per serving as opposed to 190. It's not quite as rich as regular but the taste is good. Kind of like whole milk and lower fat milk, but I like low fat milk.

I tried this but I preferred the real deal!

My name says it all I Peanut butter! I'm trying to quit it but its to hard

As for staying under calories and eating anything, that's not a good idea. You can eat nothing buy chips and ice cream and stay under your calories. But, are you going to be healthy and fit? I'm sure you know the answer to that. We all need a balanced diet - at least on most days.

Peanut butter is a good healthy food if eaten in moderation. As you know, it's high calorie. I generally eat 1 TBS on bread for my evening snack and sometimes add one tbs to my morning protein shake or just have a TBS alone sometime during the day. But I do almost always eat some daily. I could eat it out of the jar but won't let myself.

I suggest you make it a part of your diet. One or two TBS per day served in whatever way appeals to you. Of course, you can swap something else for PB sometimes and have a bit extra. But I wouldn't eat much more than two servings per day and less on most days.

Also, you want to make sure your PB is natural and/or organic and has no sugar or other ingredients in it unless it's a small amount of salt and in some cases a very small amount of sugar. Smucker' s natural is a great choice. Lots of PB had a whole lot of bad stuff in it and you want to avoid that.
