Are bananas and peanut butter a bad thing?

I think I could probably eat an entire container of Ben & Jerry for less calories than your creation. One banana and a measured amount of peanut butter is one thing. 5 bananas and a huge scoop of peanut butter is another story.0

A banana (1) peanut butter (2 tbsp) sandwich on your bread of choice (2 slices) topped w/honey (1 tbsp) is a delicious and nutritious snack.
You just have to account for the roughly 600 cals that it will cost you.

The frozen banana with peanut flour was my facorite dessert before. As everyone else said, weigh and log.0

I think bananas and peanut butter is good for clean eating and can be a healthy treat in lieu of processed crap and even though it may be high in sugar it's natural and falls low on the glicemic index unlike processed sugars that skyrocket your glucose and at least the calories aren't empty I'm going to try it but what I would do is scale back the recipe a bit and use maybe one banana and two measured tablespoons of Justin's dark chocolate hazelnut butter that should put it at around 270-310 depending on the size of the banana I use a food scale to measure my banana in grams and then log them that way because the difference between bananas can vary substantially-1

Something called "Justin's dark chocolate hazelnut butter" is processed.4

What exactly makes a sugar "processed"?1 -
I think bananas fall higher on the GI than a good-quality ice cream (due to the cream). Adding the peanut butter will lower it, normally, although the peanut butter mentioned by OP (probably delicious) is a high sugar one due to the chocolate, probably.
None of this is anti the recipe, which is probably tasty, but I'd definitely weigh and calculate the calories and I wouldn't eat it in lieu of ice cream personally unless I liked it better. But some people would probably prefer the fat in nuts to that in cream (the sugar seems about the same).0 -

Don't you know, things are only processed if my diet du jour says it's evil.3 -
As long as there is no dairy and no processed sugar or corn syrup then it's just fine!-1

Big fat curses to this thread! I finally got around to making this banana ice cream concoction last night and my nutribullet, which i use nearly everyday, blew up 30 seconds into mixing! I think i'll stick to normal icecream from now on.
I used my hand mixer to finish mixing, i also added PB2, and yes it was bloomin' delicious, mine came to 313 calories.2 -
I don't want to sound annoying or pushy but dairy is not good for weightloss, and corn syrup (in a lot of peanut butters) is not healthy. That's my simple way of saying it. Of course she can eat what she wants, but that's my view on them. There's not dairy in either thing she said, I can't recall why I put that but anyways...TavistockToad wrote: »brichards_ wrote: »As long as there is no dairy and no processed sugar or corn syrup then it's just fine!

I'm not dumb thank you. I know there isn't dairy in fruit and peanut butter, it was just a general comment about food and idk what I was thinking really when I wrote it.

why/how is dairy bad for weight loss?6 -
I can't really say it like my research has said it so I'll try my best. Dairy is the breast milk made for baby cows. It is a natural growth formula for the baby cow. A human isn't really meant to breast feed a growth formula from a cow, if that makes sense. It causes, well, growth, like it does for the baby cow. It also causes constipation and bloating due to the fact that the human body doesn't really like having milk and it's hormones and pus cells in it. Usually people are trying to lose fat on their diets, and dairy is high in fat, such as saturated fat. This can be slightly bad towards weight loss goals, although some fat is necessary to eat of course. Eating healthy fats will be better towards the body. Hopefully this makes a little sense?TavistockToad wrote: »brichards_ wrote: »

Sorry but this is not true. The only proven thing not good for weight loss is an excess of calories...
You can't make that statement without context and dosage...brichards_ wrote: »and corn syrup (in a lot of peanut butters) is not healthy.
That's the problem. People oversimplify the science of fat loss...brichards_ wrote: »That's my simple way of saying it.

why/how is dairy bad for weight loss?
1. I would recommend doing research from unbiased people.
2. Humans are meant to have dairy. In fact, we developed the enzymes to process milk a long long time ago.
3. Milk is very nutritious and just like all food sources, it causes growth. Why because milk is an energy source, and energy will stimulate growth (babies grow even if they have other food sources and couldn't drink milk, just like a baby cow would grow if they had other food sources).
4. Milk only causes bloating and constipation if you have an aversion to lactose. Otherwise, its more propaganda.
5. Dietary fat has 0 correlation to body fat. In fact, high fat diets can be very beneficial to weight loss and improving healthy; MUFA/PUFA fats have linked to lowering cholesterol. And recent research is suggeting that SFA from natural sources doesn't have an impact on health.
Weight loss is achieved through a calorie deficit. It doesn't matter what lifestyle you live by. And I am thrilled you are enjoying your weight loss journey. But your diet is not the solution for everyone. It is for someone who has an ethical aversion to the meat and dairy industry. For me, I would die with it. I love meat too much. It would be too difficult for me to get protein as I can't eat a lot of plant sources of protein, ultra restrictive diets don't go well with me, and I really don't have any concern over eating meat.
OP, if you like the bananas and peanut butter, just work it into your diet.11 -
