Peanut butter is a "go to" for me. A very SMALL amount curbs my appetite a long time. Ice cream is my weakness.

What's a "very SMALL amount"?

A tip of a teaspoon? A soup spoon? A mouth wad full?

What is the healthiest peanut butter you can buy ? Iv noticed the one I get from Aldi contains palm oil. I’m not sure if that’s good oil or not but I believe it’s bad for the environment in terms of deforestation

Peanut Butter is my kryptonite as well, and unfortunately when I am in cutting mode I have to eliminate it. It just takes up too many calories that I can use with other foods that help with hunger and the macro nutrient balance that I am looking for. But yes twister- your nutritionist is wrong. If you are on a 1,200 calorie diet and you want to eat 8 tablespoons of peanut butter per day and nothing else, you can still lose weight. It probably wouldn't be the best thing for you nutritionally and I am going to guess you will still be hungry all the time, but you can do it.

For me, PB2 and some of the other substitutes just doesn't do it. When I want Peanut Butter I just want it. I do throw in peanut butter flavored things like protein bars or PB2 powder in a protein shake, but I feel your pain monteshot. When I am in maintenance mode I find that peanut butter can still be a problem for me because its so tough to measure. Ever try to get that peanut butter into a measuring spoon? Or scoop some into a small cup on a scale? You really do have to measure it somehow because there are so many calories packed into such a little amount. I hate to admit it, but I end up buying the premeasured "to-go" cups. Its the only way to ensure your not adding hidden calories.

I just weigh whatever I want to have my peanut butter on, tare, and then add the pb. I would never weigh it in a cup because then I would waste some of my peanut butter!

For peanut butter and other food that comes in a container that requires you to scoop a portion out, I take the lid off, put the container on the scale, press tare weight, scoop out my serving, and then log the difference.

That's a really really good idea. Thank you!

Guess who had a peanutbutter smoothie for breakfast. Stupid delicious conversation. Good thing its healthy ;D

Peanut butter is also a weakness of mine. Mmmmmm peanut butter.

That said, I tried PB2 once, and now the jar sits in my pantry. I thought it was so gross.

Try it twice. It tastes very different depending on tiny differences in water added. Or try it in smoothies. Or maybe you just hate the taste but i cant see how it tastes the same to me when made right Although apparently the flavored ones suck? no clue

I had it in a smoothie, and it made it taste burnt. It was so strange! I'll try it with water mixed in and see how it is.

yeah drizzle in a small bit of water and stir it then add in drip by drip almost until you get a consistency you like. Little goes a long way texture wise lol. I hope you like it its quite yummy iv never had it taste burnt My smoothie was just like melted peanutbutter and it was delicious, granted i used peanut flour not PB2 but its just a cheaper less cut version of the same thing lol
