Yeap, lots of delicious fatty goodness in that stuff. If the calories bug you, there's always the powdered peanut butter option. The stuff's not great, but it's a LOT lower kcals than normal PB.6

Weigh it instead of measuring next time, you'll be even more bummed lol11

Your goal is less than 16 grams of fat per day?2

My question as well?0 -
My question too, I'm a middle aged female, 5'5" and my fat goal is 40g. I can fit peanut butter in if I try. Usually I save it for a workout recovery, 1 tablespoon on half a banana.
For the flavor of peanut butter I mix a half serving of Orgain chocolate protein powder with a half serving of OB2 peanut powder. I get my Reese fix that way.1 -
Maybe you're looking at Saturated fat?1

Sounds like you have your fat goal set too low.2

Maybe the peanut butter isn't OP's entire fat allowance, but it was enough fat to push them over their daily target. Anyway, I rarely have an entire two tablespoon serving of peanut butter, but I often have one tablespoon on an apple or banana. I know it sounds silly, and I don't mean it in a condescending way at all, but in all seriousness it took me a while to realize that I could just eat half a serving of something. I think I was conditioned to eat whatever was listed as "one serving" on the label.1

I eat half servings so often, it's not funny. It's that counting calories thing1
-
Or quarter servings lol1

I gave up even bothering with peanut butter. Obviously, I can fit it into my budget, but it just isn't worth the calories for what you get, at least for me. Literally, one bite of PB is 180 calories. Yeah, no thanks.. Lol3

Me too. But thinking about powered PB... I've seen a lot of good things!3 -

1 serving of peanut butter is around 180 calories. If someone wants to eat that in one mouthful, they can. But you can also spread it out over an entire sandwich or a whole apple or in a smoothie.
Obviously we all make our decisions about what foods are worth the calories to us, but there are ways to eat peanut butter besides just putting two tablespoons in your mouth at once.9 -
Peanut butter is DELICIOUS.7

I agree and you're absolutely correct. However, for me, any way you try to fool yourself, it's just so little for, pretty much, no satisfaction, in the end.3 -

Yeah, if it isn't worth it for you personally, absolutely better to avoid it.0 -
I used to be glad I didn't like PB because of the fat/cals but I've been putting a tbs in my coconut greek yogurt and it's so good. Worth the cal cost1
-
I gave up peanut butter completely the nanosecond I found out my daughter has a peanut allergy. Don't miss it in the slightest. Priorities.0
-
Mmmm had 30g today but only because someone posted a photo on the news feed and I had to satisfy my cravings lol. I used to eat 2 slices of toast and peanut butter in the morning quite often, I knew it wasnt low cal but until I started countin I didn't realise HOW high!1

I was thinking the same thing that in combination with other things it pushed OP over. I absolutely love peanut butter. Can't eat in moderation. So I don't buy it.0
