Personally, and I emphasize personally- in my phase of weight loss I am not willing to trade the calories and fat, when I can just drink some soy milk or eat a snack. I do eat peanut butter fiber bars and find that calorie load more acceptable at 140-150. However, I am sure for most people nuts and other nut butters are staples in their dietary consumption.0

I have peanut butter in my diet! It is a very healthy fat!! Just watch how much you are eating! Makes a great dip for granny smith apples!0

I eat natural peanut butter all the time, Make sure it is natural with no sugar added. and make sure you measure.0

Do you think 2 tbsp a day is too much? I just love it but im thinking maybe I love it too much0

I eat peanut butter all the time! I absolutely love peanut butter and have eaten more since I've started dieting than I have in my whole life because it IS healthy, and I also find it quite delicious. I have both regular and natural peanut butter, and I eat both of those. I've also lost almost 70 pounds in 6 months, so it definitely is not hindering my weight loss at all.0

I eat PB2. It is only 45 calories for 2 tablespoons and that is just enough for a sandwich or a craving!!! From what I have heard, it can be hard to find, but I always get mine at Dierberg's or Schnucks. I have tried both chocolate and original, both are really good!0

I love peanut butter and it's almost a staple in my diets...
When I need to pack something quick and healthy for lunch, I make a pb sandwich on whole wheat and once in a while throw in some banana slices. As long as you're tracking it correctly and not eating the whole jar, you're fine! lol0 -

If you're a peanut butter junkie...like me...PB2 is a must!0 -
I eat all natural, no sugar, peanut butter when I'm having a terrible craving or if I'm having bathroom "issues" to stop things up. The protein is great for you, but the fat content is a little high to consume mass quantities of it throughout your day. Just use 1 tablespoon of it as a TREAT, and do it mid-day so your body has time to metabolize the fat.0

Our nutritionist recommends PB2. She says to mix it with low fat milk if you want it to taste even more like normal peanut butter. I'm afraid I haven't tried it yet but I'm thinking about it. But in regards to normal peanut butter, I think anything is fine in moderation.0

Natural peanut butter is just fine0

WOULD DIE WITHOUT PEANUT BUTTER!!!!! I look at the facts buy the healthiest one and then only eat half a serving. It goes further when you melt it in the microwave for 45 seconds and dip fruit and veg in it!!!!! I am a PB and Choc freak and those two things being banned from my diet would break my little heart! Also just learned about nutella. Don't love the calorie count but half a serving on a rice cake is delish and helps those pesky chocolate cravings! Also only about 140 calories!0

Another rec for the PB2..
Just had some PB2 with a protein shake earlier - tastes good to me! Better n peanut butter has been replaced for me!
I know others may prefer to eat natural peanut butter, but the fat to protein ratio is too skewed for me to really justify/enjoy it. Thus PB2 is an awesome in between for me.0 -

I have never heard of this before I will definetly be trying to find some of this. Does it taste like normal peanut butter?0 -
I eat natural peanut butter almost every day. I have been limiting it to 1 TBSP, but sometimes I have 2. It is a healthy fat and natural doesn't have any sugar added so as long as you are logging it you are fine. I also measure because sometimes my guessing at a TBSP is way off
I am very interested in finding out more about this PB2 though....is it found in the same section of the grocery store as regular peanut butter??0 -
Where can I get the PB2 or whatever it is...I eat at least 2 TBSP of peanut butter a day...just off the spoon!0
