I just had a small spoon of peanut butter because after eating a small piece of homemade veggie omelette I still felt like my stomach was empty; is this ok? Peanut butter has a lot of fat but as well as protein? Or am I treacking my brain? Advice?

What? Why would it not be OK?0

Its fine, don't worry so much0

Nuts and seeds are absolutely a part of healthy eating (in moderation)!0

No.................................use a big spoon! Peanut butter is great as long as it's not laden with a bunch of sugar. 2 tablespoons is a standard serving.0

Sounds kinda eating disorder speak. Of course someone would still be hungry eating a 'small piece of a veggie omelette" Try a large spoon of peanut butter and eat more omelette.0

I have peanut butter toast everyday and have lost 65 lbs. Keep it within your calorie goal and it will be fine.0

I think peanut butter can be a great treat, esp when craving sugar or something sweet. I wouldn't use it every day and I wouldn't use it as part of my meals, but a little now and then -- and log it -- shouldn't be a problem.0

It's ok to eat whatever the heck you want as long as it fits within your calorie goal. You'll live.0

Of course it is, as long as it fits in with your overall target for calories(as well as fat and protein).
PB is a great quick source of energy but you need to be mindful of it's high calorie content.0 -
It's totally fine, and in fact is probably what your body needs. Listen to your body, if you're not satisfied you're going to be tempted to reach for snacks (likely junk food) and you don't want that.0

Count the calories, and it's ok. Peanut butter is one of my most reliable and healthy filler food, and a little goes a long way.
Real peanut butter, of course, nothing but peanuts.0 -
I usually have all natural peanut butter every day. It's my lil treat. Just keep in mind a serving is 2 tablespoons. I usually break it down and do one tablespoon servings and have one in the morning and one in the afternoon or evening! Enjoy!0

It's fine, but you could also have eaten the whole omelette.0

I love PB for a quick snack...sometimes I get too busy that when I get hungry I reach for the PB jar...a Tbsp always does the trick for me.. : )0

Good Lord!!! Peanut Butter was my saving Protein Grace when I was needing something sweet and filling! I would eat a couple of tablespoons at any one time...
it's a good source of protein, so EAT UP!!0 -
everything is OK with moderation.0

My typical breakfast is two pieces of bread, two tablespoons of JIF, and a cup of coffee.
Peanut butter is a good source of protein and has enough of GOOD fat to keep me powered through the morning.0 -
