I love peanut butter but it's hard for me to get the right amount. I've come to understand that peanut butter & apples are a no-go for me, because my peanut butter to apple ratio is WAY too high. Other than that, I can properly ration it out though. :laugh:0

I dig it.0

If I want pb, I need to eat a lot of it. Cuz my dog has these big brown eyes that stare me down until he gets half my toast :sad:0

Peanut butter is the best. Tastes good and fills you with energy. Id suggest eating it before a work out.0
-
PB is one of those things that I really have to weigh when I measure servings though. If I don't, then I'm almost 100% likely to over serve myself.
As far as brands go, I usually get Simply Jif.0 -
HELL YAY!!! It's a great way to get some protein and healthy fats. Besides, it's so tasty. I add it to most of my shakes along with some chocolate protein powder and maybe a banana. :-D0

Peanut butter's a great way to boost your calorie intake if you find it hard to get them all. Even though it is quite high in calories it's filling and yummy too!
That is one of the many reasons why I love PB I haven't got much of an appetite so it's perfect for me!
(I say "one of many reasons": actually, the only other reason why I love it is because it's so so yummy!)0 -
IF and only IF you measure carefully and control your portions. I forgot this little fact and just eye balled peanut butter. After 1 week I had gained 6 lbs...very very bad! But with control it is good source of protein and fat (yes, the good fat that everyone needs a little of in their diet).
To gain six pounds in a week, you'd have to overeat by 21,000 calories. At 100 calories / tablespoon (I've round up), that's 210 tablespoons, or 30 per day..or about 1 pound of peanut butter a day. That's a lot of PB....0 -
I have to say that I absolutely LOVE peanut butter, but today when I was putting it into MFP to look at the nutritional value I was shocked by how many calories a little dabble of peanut butter really is....I'd much rather have a 90 calorie pack instead!0

I've had 5Tbs today. Very yay.0

I eat peanut butter on an apple just about every day and find it is a great tool for loosing weight. Yes, it has lots of calories so measuring is important, but the protein and fat (combined with the natural sugar and fiber in the apple) are very satiating.
THIS IS ONE MY FAVORITE TREATS WHEN I'M CRAVING SOMETHING SWEET. ALSO I USUALLY EAT PETER PAN LOW FAT AND SARA LEE 45 CAL BREAD EVERY MORNING.0 -
Peanut butter....YAYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!!!!0
-
Total YAY!!!! Great source of protein and a spoonful helps fight off the afternoon munchies.0
-
It's great before or after a workout. I usually eat a spoonful before a workout.0
-
I eat it regularly.....but I have to weigh it and put the jar back in the pantry!0
-
Yay, Smart Balance Peanut Butter with flax oil is wonderful. Only 48 calories for 1/2 tablespoon.0
-
Everyone seems to love P.b.
It' s has a decent amount of sugar and salt which makes it tasty and addictive. It's hard to stop at a little.....
(I'll probably cop a bit of flack, so I'll go now!)
Don't get the crap that calls itself peanut butter. There are plenty of brands that are simply peanuts.0 -
PB. I LOVE PB!!! However, one of my children is allergic so we don't keep it in the house.0

Well when you put it that way....so it wasn't all from the peanut butter but I don't think it helped. my body is very picky and gains weight even when I do everything right. I think PB is just not a good choice for me except on special occasions.0 -
Dude, it's peanut butter! What could you *possibly* have against peanut butter??0
