Nutella or Natural Peanut butter?

Oh nutella, you art delicious. I eat you with a spoon
Me too! And that is why I have forced myself not to buy it in the last couple of weeks. I'll make a sandwich or two then eat the rest of the jar with a spoon in one sitting. I'd eat it with my hand to avoid doing dishes but the opening is kind of small for my big man hands. :blushing:0 -
I love Almond butter....0

I might be the only person in the world who hates Nutella.0

Natural peanut butter is better for you, as nutella is high in added sugar. Peanut butter is high in fat, but if you're buying true natural peanut butter (made with only peanuts and salt) then it's all healthy fat. Nutella is pretty tasty, but you might consider looking into a homemade alternative, since I've seen some recipes for healthier versions floating around the internet.0

No, there's two others...0 -
pretty rough to compare nutella to natural peanut butter... natural would be the straight up selection between the 2...
but as easy as nut butters are to make, why not grab some hazelnuts and some cocoa powder and make your own skip adding all the sugar they do for the store bought stuff?
the natural PB I looked at had 4 more grams of fat but 16 grams less carbs.0 -
Nutella sucks and it's one of the most unhealthy food (next to mcdonalds and that kind of rubbish)
Stick to PB0 -
NUTELLA HANDS DOWN!!
ETA that I don't allow myself to buy the stuff now because I eat it straight from that jar :grumble:0 -
I partly blame Nutella for helping me gain so much weight a couple of years ago - we used to keep a big jar in the cupboard and when I was craving chocolate I would just eat it straight from the tub with a spoon! (*Not* a good idea!!)
If you're using natural peanut butter then that's pretty healthy - I wouldn't swap that for Nutella! :-)0 -
Strong thread. It is meaningless to consider one single type of food as healthy or unhealthy outside the context of the whole diet.0

If you do get nutella, BE CAREFUL!! Its SO addictive! I can't but it anymore, can't trust myself with it Its ruined many healthy days for me... But if you can do it in moderation, it will be fine. Its SO tasty!0

Nutella will definitely taste better than peanut butter but the sugar is higher. I personally have to stay away from it all together because I will eat the whole container in one sitting.
loooooooooool, i do that, without realising, then with guilt, i track it on MFP0 -
I believe natural peanut butter is better than nutella..lboth if you r an a diet,forget abut it...if you have the craving,though, and you have to have something sweet,i 'D say a spoon of peanut butter...have you ever tried tahini? Whenever i crave peanutbuter i eat honey with tahini!0

Nutella is pretty unhealthy but I like it .
I sometimes (okay twice a week!) have a tbsp on bread (hot toast just makes it too sickly IMO) for breakfast, fills me up till mid afternoon though so not 'too' bad if you don't eat to much and it stops you feeling hungry. x0 -
One serving of Nutella is about 80calories. It tastes good, and makes a change from peanut butter. I'm pretty sure not everything, ever, needs to be the absolute epitome of healthiness. It's delicious on toast, satisfying, and, like I said; it makes a change. I eat both, so I'm not partial to one over the other.
Plus, Nutella is good enough that you don't really risk having more than the allotted serving size -- unless you're someone who naturally can't stop once you start -- so it's generally all good. Definitely a bit of a sugar boost in the morning, too, as would any good quality chocolate spread. And, you won't feel like you're munching the same things over and over.0 -
justin's chocolate hazelnut butter... less sugar than nutella. and more naturally delicious...
look for ilookthetype to second this sentiment... it's her fault i love it so much.
I love Nutella, but now that you point that out...thank you XD
Definitely going to get some!0 -

This!! i had to break up with Nutella for this reason Luckily, there's a convenience store near me that sells Nutella&Go, which is a serving of it with some little bread sticks fo dipping. 260 cals, so it's a lovely treat and I keep it controlled.
Trader Joe's also has a chocolate almond butter I've wanted to try, but i am afraid of being addicted to that, too. Oh well!
So your best choice here is natural peanut butter, wherein the only ingredient is peanuts. Check those labels!0 -

Totally agree with this!
