    Uh, let's see.. the TDEE calculaltor says 2608. I do work out and need excess calories, however. Gained 9 lbs.~ muscle last year... Hence the huge amount of calories. Peanut butter isn't a daily thing by the way. Some days I substitute olive oil. My body would end up rejecting peanut butter if I ate it every day. About 4-5 days a week range.

    I think everyone believes that you can do it, and no one really wants to see it.

    I, personally, live by the motto: "just because you can doesn't mean you should."

    If you're SO focused on hitting micros that you think the best way to get there is by eating a cup of peanut butter every single day, perhaps you need to re-evaluate some things about your relationship with food.

    Awareness of micros = good. Variety of healthful foods in your diet including (but not limited to) vegetables, fruits, protein (meat and/or dairy and/or vegetarian sources), fats, and probably some grains = better.

    All that said...from mid-August to early November my morning snack is a honeycrisp and peanut butter. 14g of peanut butter. Delicious.

    I think @VictorianoAOchoa is making the point that this combination has a nice nutrition profile, and is a good option for a vegetarian. All true.

    Except the proportion is all wrong.

    Well, the proportions aren't exactly wrong with the right diet. I will substitute something like beans and rice for the days where I don't eat peanut butter. As mentioned, this is not daily...

    ...

    And peanut butter is just so delicious. A cup isn't really that much with an apple . 1.5-2 cups would be pretty insane.

    Nothing against peanut butter, as I tend to go through 2 jars a week... with a spoon...

    Is there any other way?

    Have you ever eaten it on banana? If not, its really good . we also cut up the banana into thin slices and place it on sandwich bread and then spread peanut butter across. Its very tasty !

    I make a salad with napa cabbage and a dressing of peanut butter, oil, soy sauce, a little rice vinegar and a pinch of sugar melted together and dressed slightly warm...best with a crunchy topping of dry ramen, sliced almonds and sesame seeds all toasted together in a bit of butter. I don't usually put sriracha in it but I bet that would be good, too! And I can see how it would be super tasty with noodles instead of cabbage.

    Peanut butter on potato chips rules. Thick, wavy chips work best since they don't break as easily while spreading the PB on them. Also PB and Fritos Scoops.
