Ok, so I seriously love peanut butter. When I have extra calories, I usually have a slice of toast with 1 T of peanut butter on it. If I have a lot of calories left over (which I work out for sometimes just to eat this), I will have a peanut butter & jelly and very occasionally a fluffernutter. I don't have a sweet tooth....these are my only weaknesses. Do you think it's bad to eat it every day? It's in moderation and within my calories. I do buy the all natural peanut butter. I swear sometimes I'll work out just to eat a pbj......and then I eat it so slowly, savoring every last little bite....YUM!

    i had a roommate that loved peanut butter so much, but ended up having high cholesterol from it. so just be careful with those kinds of numbers. and they actually have this: http://bellplantation.com/ !

    lol...sounds better then my addiction! (dark chocolate) I would stick to the natural peanut butter though, it's not loaded with sugar and extra fat and it's just better for you all around! :smile: Good luck...lol...addictions are never easy to get over!

    I don't think its bad to eat a little every day....I find myself craving peanut butter...:love: .then have 1tbs on toast for breakfast for a week and am good for a few weeks....but tonight a friend said peanut butter cookies and I WANT!:devil: !!!!!!!!!!! Too bad I didn't budget for peanut butter calories today :sad: I did find a good recipe for sugar free peanut butter cookies, but they still have 116 calories per cookie!

    Have you tried Better'n Peanut Butter? Low Fat Peanut Butter that totally satisfies my peanut butter craving. I found it at Target and Trader Joe's stocks it too. Certainly a less creamy consistency than the real thing but awesome for 2g of sugar and 2g of fat.

    Agree, and melt the peanut butter in the microwave first and dip the apple slices I have this at least 5 times a week. ~180 calories.

    I eat peanut butter every day, haha. It's just soooo good. I put it on my oatmeal every morning. I usually wouldn't eat it multiple times a day though just because it's so high in fat. I buy natural peanut butter because it tastes better to me, but I'm really curious to try that PB2 stuff -- it's only 45 calories and 1.5 g of fat per serving!! They even have a chocolate one, mmm. That might push my PB&co. Dark Chocolate Dreams to the back of the shelf.

    Peanut butter (the natural kind, not the sugar and million ingredients added kind) is very good for you. As long as it fits in with your calories and fat goals there is nothing wrong with eating it daily. Many mornings I start my day with whole grain toast and PB!

    I do a PB and wheat sandwich on a peppridge farm sandwich thin everyday. No jelly. I feel that since I'm a vegitarian, PB is a pretty good source of protein. I eat this M-F for lunch along with triscuits and some fruit. I see nothing wrong with it...but thats just me! =)

    Cholesterol is only found in animal products! There is NONE in peanut butter! I eat peanut or almond butter everyday. Love it in oatmeal.

    Peanut butter and eggo sandwiches are the BOMB!! My son hooked me on to those lol *bad son*

    To the OP I eat peanut butter alot. Not neccessarily everyday but I wouldn't see anything wrong with it. I eat Simply Jif Creamy 33% less sugar, low sodium peanut butter on celery stalks.

    I'm going to try that melted peanut butter on apples. Thats sounds heavenly.
