Eating peanut butter every day . . .

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/ !

I have to hide the PB cause my son will sit down and eat it with a spoon! haha

I love Peanut Butter!! I really only have it now in my protein shakes with banana once or twice a week...my weakness is wine lol I'll work out more if I know I'm going to have a glass of wine...I know it's not good. I don't know whether it is bad to eat it everyday tho....sorry!

I don't think its bad to eat a little every day....I find myself craving peanut butter... .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.

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 have a peanut butter obsession! I stick a spoon in and just have it on its own. Yum

Hahahaa omfg are you sure you're not my sister?

Hahahah....are you a pb addict too...or is your sister? lol

Me. Man when I was first out on my own, a young bachelor and all, I used to make peanut butter and eggo sandwhiches haha

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.

have you also tried Nutella? almost the same nutritional content as PB but its cocoa/hazelnut!!! super delish especially if you add a bit to PB, then its like reeces toast!! decent protein fix and filling.

replace the bread with apple slices....THE BOMB!!! :-) at least once in awhile. i too, love the butter, but use almond instead.

I have that as my snack most days with a tble spoon of PB!! I cant see how a tablespoon would be bad for you??

celery and peanut butter<3

Try Almond butter see how you like that, it's much better for you than peanutt butter. But if not, use the natural kind without tons of sugar, it's pretty close to Jiffy, and after awhile you won't even miss the kind loaded with sugar.

What is with Americans and peanut butter?! I am not complaining, I think it's funny. I don't know anyone at all who eats peanut butter in real life (in the UK), it just isn't a common part of most people's diet. In fact, the only people I know who ate it as children were American!

But do you know a lot of people who eat Nutella?


I love peanut butter also! I buy PB2 and it is really good! Order it from Netrition.com because they have $4.95 flat rate shipping and it is less expensive then from the manufacturer. PB2 also has a chocolate flavor! The great thing about PB2 is that it doesn't have tons of additives. The ingredients are: Roasted peanuts, sugar & salt. And it tastes good!

I am a bit notorious for my attitude that there is no bad food. I will eat anything, at least once. I love PB, used to eat it everyday. I hear, especially from this guy, http://www.bengreenfieldfitness.com/, that nuts, especially PB are inflammatory. I have switched to homemade almond butter ( 30 g ground salted almonds , 21 g honey, 1 g olive oil). Do not know for sure if it has made a difference but I am getting to be an old man and have my share of inflammatory whining. Peanuts do contain a mold that you can see if you shell your own, I have stopped eating shelled peanuts even though I love them so since I am very allergic to mold. Mr. Greenfield now is saying that all nuts have some inflammatory properties. So, everything in moderation, some everyday should not be a problem, but pay attention to your body. Experiment.

I am not a nutritionist and I do not play one on message boards.
