I use PB2 , which is dried with the fat removed. There are haters (see, e.g., http://foodbabe.com/2012/09/16/the-truth-about-pb2-powdered-peanut-butter/) but for my calorie/ flavor needs, it's what I use. I use the listed portion size (12 g dry) in oatmeal or mixed with water for PB sandwiches2

I have whole earth smooth.
And as much as you can fit in your calories and macros!1 -
I generally eat JiF Naturals and have 2TBSP whenever I eat it. I am within 5lbs of my goal and I am not restricting as much. Early in my journey I ate 1TBSP because the 100 calories made a difference.3

PbCrave razzle dazzle or coco bananas.
Peanut butter & co. White chocolate wonderful or cinnamon raisin swirl.
Unfortunately peanut butter & co. Pumpkin spice isn't available in the UK.
Amount? Whatever fits.0 -
Cashew butter for me beats PB any day1
-
If we're talking other spreads then it's speculoos all day.0

Goodness, the Food Babe is not someone I would ever take seriously for anything. I'm sure she offered some alternative to PB2 you can buy through her site that will make her money. Seriously, ignore her ranting and raving.
OP, there are so many peanut butter brands out there. They all have about the same calories if they are regular peanut butter. Grab a few jars at your local store and look at the labels. Find one that has ingredients that match your personal preferences. As far as how much, it's whatever fits your calorie goals for the day. PB has a lot of calories. I usually make do with a tablespoon at a time but your calorie goal might be higher than mine.
If you like the idea of PB2 then try it. I found that it has too much of a burned taste for me unless I'm mixing it into a smoothie or something but everyone is different.5 -
I do a tablespoon on a piece of toast for breakfast. If you like Nutella and Banana so one side with PB one with Nutella and sliced banana in the middle and eat it like a sandwich. so good!1

Any peanut butter that doesn't have hydrogenated fats/oils in the ingredient list, that you find affordable & tasty.
Personally, I prefer brands that use roasted peanuts (yeah, some use raw) and a little salt, nothing else. And I'm a crunchy-style peanut butter eater, all the way.
2 tablespoons (which is 30g in the brand I'm using now) is going to be around 200 calories (plus or minus, depending on brand), and that's a reasonable portion for most of my purposes.
I use PB2 Original to make pseudo-Asian peanut sauce for veggies, and PB2 Chocolate as an occasional Greek yogurt additive, but normal peanut butter for spreading on stuff. PB2 has the oil removed, but they add a little sugar (surprise!).0 -
I use PB Fit that is sold at Costco. I carefully reconstitute it to the consistency of normal peanut butter and then to me, I don't see any difference between it and regular peanut butter except this has way less calories. I'm never going back to regular peanut butter.3

A peanut butter and banana sandwich topped w/some honey on your bread of choice would be a delicious snack.
Just have to allow for the roughly 600 cals that it will cost you.2 -
I like to make my own nut butters - no extra added to the nuts except I will toast them first.
I use PB2 on occasion too - just stay CLEAR of Walden Farms 'peanut butter'...that stuff will
make you want to cut your tongue out!1 -
The best peanut butter is the one you like. I take a tablespoon at a time. I like Kraft smooth.
Try it in your cooked oatmeal with a teaspoon of honey and 1/3 cup Greek yogurt.

Peanut butter isn't bad for you if you use it properly. I eat a couple servings typically in a day for the fat content as well as a little protein. Plus it's a great fuel source for before a workout. I do try to stay with a more natural kind, but it can be pricey sometimes.0

I buy plain ol Kraft crunchy peanut butter. I've tried the natural ones, but they are too bland tasting, although they did stop me from having PB binges lol
If you're a fan of chocolate and peanut butter, this stuff is amazing.

Now I really want to try reconstituting PB2 with some unsweetened almond/cashew milk for PB sandwiches.

Any peanut butter that tastes good to you. I have a single serving just on a spoon for a midafternoon snack most days.0
