    Hi! One thing I LOVE to do with my peanut butter is put one tablespoon in with Chobani honey (super protein snack) and it is like eating more peanut butter than you actually get to eat... so good.

    AWESOME idea! Thanks for sharing!

    We have at LEAST 2 jars of PB in the house at all times...hubby, me, and both girls are major PB fanatics! :love:

    peanut butter is yummy.. but almond butter is to die for!!! I :heart: the Barney Butter brand of almond butter!!!!! My kids love it more than peanut butter!

    IMO almond butter is not nearly as tasty. I prefer almonds to eat whole (as nuts) but I much prefer the taste of peanut butter. I think this is because peanuts have a stronger taste. But it's all just personal preference. Plus peanut butter is MUCH cheaper.

    I use (PB2) powder peanut butter. 45 calories a serving. It is great.
    I would LOVE to try this as I've heard lots about it. Where can you find it at?

    1200 calories a day is way too little. but you'll learn that eventually.

    I eat peanut butter almost every day, especially after a workout with the amount of protein and good fats in it. It's very satisfying!

    I'm not sure why your are saying 1200 calories a day is way too little. It's what MFP sets for me and I stay at or a tad under that and feel great and have been losing great!

    it's not too little if you are not exercising. As long as you log exercise if/when you do it and eat additional calories you'll be fine. Just follow the MFP plan.

    PB is much cheaper... but I love that AB doesn't seem as sweet and keeps more true to the actual taste of the nut. It does to me anyway! :happy: Regardless, I'm happy to spread (hehehehe) the nut butter love!

    Has a PB&J sandwich for dinner two nights a week (night classes). They're portable, filling, and absolutely delicious. And I'm averaging 1.5 pounds lost a week, so anyone who tells me I shouldn't eat them can get bent!!!!

    Love PB2 also but it's just not the same, texture-wise. Has anyone tried coconut butter? Requires a little microwaving but OOOOOOH baby.....

    Absolutely love peanut butter. A tablespoon on apple slices is one of my favorite snacks.

    I've recently tried PB2 and love it also. It's great mixed in oatmeal, protein smoothies, and Greek yogurt. Haven't been brave enough to just mix it with water or milk and try it on a sandwich yet.

    If I go on a LONG run (over 15 miles), peanut butter on a single piece of toast is a great 110 calorie snack (before the run). It puts something in the belly that kills the hunger pains and it gives you energy and high protein!

    I eat it every day! Jif All-Natural or PB2 on days where I can't spare the extra cals!

    I've found that the All-Natural Low Sodium Jif has more salt than the Simply Jif so I've switched. The marketing machine got me :-/
