I wouldn't think anything Plus, peanut butter is a great source of protein, and generally good for you all-around0

It isn't the worst thing in the world to crave. Go lightly and count it all.0

I have Peanut Butter and Celery or PB and Toast ALL the TIME! lol I even crave it at dinner sometimes too. You're not alone0

Try almond butter! Tastes delicious and is better for you than peanut butter.0

It is good for you I like the natural ones (gets rid of the bad oils) but you have to watch it is high in cals and can put you way over if you do not watch it. I have a hard time controling the 2 tbsp I usually want more lol:)

I have to share that while I was pregnant I CRAVED peanut butter like you would not believe. I had a serving of a certain kind of peanut butter every day for a good nine months! I am amazed now when I can go for days at a time without even thinking about it!
Just to say that I know what is feels like to obsess over peanut butter0 -
I understand!!! This happens for some reason with healthy eating it seems like. Seriously me and a bunch of my friends on here are addicted to peanut butter, lol.
It's just odd to me that so many of us crave the stuff.0 -
The past few days it looks like you're way below on calories. That could be a factor. As long as you're within your parameters go ahead and eat it. It's good and good for you.0

You may also be craving fats…or protein.0

I agree with the almond butter suggestion!0

best way to stop craving pb: dont eat it anymore. PB really is not all that amazing. it causes many cravings actually and it is hard to stop once you get a little.0

Ha! I didn't mean to suggest you were. I was just sharing my experience with craving peanut butter. I've been there, dude!0 -
It could be your body craving protein. When our body dips is in Starvation Mode long enough it will start craving the nutrients it truly needs.
I used to eat Jif Creamy all the time but have since switched over to natural. Smuckers Natural Creamy is wonderful, especially with apples! I keep screwing up and getting the chunky without looking but it's still good.
Natural peanut butter is very, very healthy. Yes you have to keep it in small amounts but it's great when you need something calorie dense but still nutritious. I eat more peanut butter now than I ever did before. I keep a jar at home and a jar at work.
Peanut Butter causes cravings??? I don't get that.0 -
I love Peanut Butter and its never caused me cravings. I eat the low sodium brand on celery. Yummy!0

I saw the almond butter the other day...lol I thought it was real butter with a almond flavoring like you would get at restaurants for the rolls. I will go back and pick some up.0
