    Try PB2 Powdered Peanut Butter! It saves a lot of calories and fat! Check it out: http://bellplantation.com/

    ^^^This^^^^ am on my second order already. Now I can have my peanut butter and eat it, too! They also have chocolate peanut butter. I like the plain the best. Carrots dipped in peanut butter is a favorite snack!

    I have some everyday! :) I buy the JIF to go cups for portion control, or else I can eat the whole jar! Also, look up PB2!



    ^This PB2 is amazing, they even have PB2 with dark chocolate pieces in it!

    Me too! I went shopping a found a bogo on peanut butter and bought it. I went through two jars of PB in a month. Your addition could be worse. I'm not buying anymore. My fav is to eat it straight out of the jar. it was too accessible.

    I used to be the same way- Peanut Butter out of the jar, by the tablespoonful. Know what solved it? Having a baby who turned out to be allergic to peanuts!! Now, I eat Sunbutter (made from sunflower seeds). Yum.

    Don't know, go to their site and look for retailers. I buy it from Amazon. There is also another company that makes it. You will have to google powdered peanut butter to find them

    Dude, natural peanut butter is really really good for you. I have some at least once a day. So does my good friend Lindsey, who has like 10% bodyfat, if she's lucky. Just sayin!

    How about just setting aside daily calories for your peanut butter craving? Isn't that the point of this site?

    I'm a fellow PB addict, and all this thread has done is enable my problem! LOL

    Is it affecting your weight loss? I'm worried it's going to affect mine. But I only have the natural stuff, and it's good fat, even if it's high calories. Delicious, delicious calories.

    Even PB2 is not good if you eat the whole jar in a sitting (or anything close to that). If you seriously think you may have an issue then don't buy PB until you feel like you can handle it. Then I would try and bring it in small doses like the single serves that someone else mentioned. PB2 IS better, and is really good .. I find it a lot sweeter than regular PB and you'll probably like it, but if you feel like you'll just abuse it, again I wouldn't buy it. I had to not buy string cheese. Holy. Cow. I literally could go through half a bag of string cheese in a day or two! SO BAD! I think right now with how I've been eating lately I think I could bring in a bag and it would last me a long time .. but I used to only be able to buy one or two singles at a time before mfp.

    Anyway, good luck! PB is delicious .. and I also would eat a lot of that, but I was able to hold back and I do well with only having it once a day or even once a week now depending.

    I eat it everyday, today I had 4 Tablespoons, Goes great with a diet coke. Seriously, peanut butter is healthy, it will satisfy your sugar cravings, and fill you up while giving you some much needed protein. If that is your worst food indulgement, you have nothing to worry about.

    I've tried pb2 and better n peanut butter, but nothing seems to hit the spot. Today, I told myself I'd have just ONE teaspoon, but that turned into FIVE teaspoons!!!!! Damn! But not buying it isn't an option, as my boyfriend insists on having his processed jif crap in the house all the time!! We have the natural kind too, but when I'm having it unplanned I go for the jif! Like straight out of the jar with my fingers, not even a spoon, but my fingers!!!

    I don't know how much it costs or the shipping on amazon but if you want to get a pretty good price netrition.com has a flat 4.95 shipping charge!

    just checked and I think its cheaper too (but amazon probably changes.)

    Eat some. Every day. Allow for it in your calories and measure it. I eat 1 tablespoon except on days when I need more calories and fats, in which case I have another tablespoon.

    If you stop depriving yourself of it, the fixation may go away. If you can't moderate it after a period of allowing yourself to have some, then that's a different issue.
