    If you can fit it into your plan...have at it! That's what it is all about. If I could just limit myself to 2 tblsp, I'd have it daily, too. I love PB too much to just do a drive-by tasting like that, though. So I try to abstain as much as possible. When I eat PB, it's a full-on jar + spoon + couch + tv show event. Lol!

    You should be proud of yourself for being able to eat only 2 Tbsp per day. I can't even keep it in the house.

    I eat Lay's classic potato chips every day, through 90lbs lost and my first year of maintenance. They hafta be Lay's though. other brands just don't do it for me. I realized that the FASTEST way for me to fail was to give up the things I truly love, so I don't. I eat them moderately to prevent binging, and i learned to say "no, thanks" to the things I used to eat but not particularly enjoy, just because they were there.

    If peanut butter is your pleasure AND you adjust for it elsewhere, I say GOOD JOB!

    For those of you who eat PB everyday and are worried about the calories, try peanut butter powder.

    You get the taste and protein w/only a trace of fat, which comprises about 75-80% of the calories in regular peanut butter. The difference comes down to around 188 cals vs 45 cals per 2 tbsp serving.

    I eat a T of peanut butter 5 days a week, and I feel no guilt whatsoever. It's a good and tasty treat. My recommendation would be to not assign emotions to food. You should never feel guilty for eating.

    A slice of DKB and 13g of Smucker's Natural PB is a ~200calorie treat I work into my weekends lately. As long as you're clear of allergies, carry on with a smile.

    I've been eating 2 Tbsp daily for weeks now and I don't believe it's caused any problems with my weight loss_it's something i look forward to/enjoy.I rely on it for fats and it fits in my calorie budget.But I sometimes find myself feeling guilty about eating it and I have to convince myself there's no harm being done!_does anyone else feel this way when eating PB or any other foods that could possibly be perceived as fattening,you eat within your calories?

    I love peanut butter. I wouldn't be able to eat just 2 Tbsp. Continue to enjoy it! :)

    Every morning for breakfast I have 1/2 English muffin and 2 tablespoons of chunky peanut butter. This tides me over until lunch.

    I applaud your control with being able to limit it to 2 tablespoons a day - if I were to eat peanut butter everyday, I would weigh at least 400+ (because 1 serving of PB is a jar, right?!??!! :D )

    I love me some peanut butter. I probably had peanut butter with my breakfast for...3 years? I'm on to a new phase, but DO love peanut butter! I recently bought bread (not something I do often) JUST to have peanut butter toast!

    I have 32g of peanut butter every night. I make a toasted peanut butter & blackberry jam sandwich & eat it right before I go to bed when I take my vitamins. Some of them need to be taken with fat. I added peanut butter when I realized how little fat I was eating every day in an effort to stay low calorie. I don't LOVE it like some & a serving is a huge amount of it--way more than I would normally put on a sandwich if I weren't weighing it out. I do think it can be hard to get over demonizing certain foods. Years ago, it was fat. These days it's carbs. Just stay in your calorie budget & everything will be fine.

    "Fattening"? Context is everything.

    I eat PB every day; it's super. I make a bowl with chocolate protein powder, gelatin, cocoa powder, and some sweetener. Add in a couple tablespoons of PB, and stir it all up with a little bit of water. It makes a goopy chocolate mess and it rocks, nutritionally and taste-wise. Try it out?
