    Bacon = satured fat, peanut butter = unsatured fat (which is better), but I love them both (just not together)
    Not that simple. Bacon has roughly the same percentage of saturated fat as peanut butter. Peanut butter actually has more total fat than bacon, ounce for ounce, and the saturated fat in bacon is mostly lauric and stearic acid, both heart healthy, good fats (lauric acid is the fat that makes coconut oil healthy, it's the main saturated fat in bacon as well.)

    True, Peanut Butter has more fat but mainly unsatured fats, which are suppose to be healthy. I can digest unsatured fats a lot better. I love bacon, but my belly doesn't :tongue:

    Any sentence the begins "Bacon is better than _________________" is automatically true.

    I'm so sick of hearing Peanutbutter is good for you! Well it's really not,

    Good source of healthy fats.

    Bacon is a better fat and not inflammatory as long as it is nitrate free.

    Funny, I actually came into this thread to see if anyone had said if this was a good combo. How disappointing.

    I know right? If bacon and maple syrup work, or bacon rubbed in brown sugar then fried...one would think peanut butter might be a reasonable match.

    I think I may try it anyhow lol.

    It's not a good source of protein. It is a good source of healthy fat.

    PB - no nitrates, lower in saturated fats, no cholesterol, and comes in smooth or crunchy. No cooking required.

    I like both bacon and peanut butter. PB is a great vegetarian protein. It's also got a lot of nutrients in it that things like bacon don't. I'll take the fat in peanut butter over the fat in bacon any day.

    ^^^ yep

    that pretty much sums it up :-) ... on a side note.. I always go for an all natural peanut butter :-) I love Adams peanut butter.... eat it everyday!

    I'm just curious as to why the OP refers to 'PBJ' - which I'm assuming is peanut better & jelly - as opposed to just PB... As an Australian, I've never understood the peanut butter & jelly (we call it jam) concept but I find it even more odd that some ppl can't seem to dis-associate the two! Lol... Just an observation :smile:

    And as for my preference... Either! I'm a big fan of both Peanut Butter and Bacon! Preferrably not together though... :tongue:

    I haven't tried it, but I suspect they are delicious together! I love both, eat both in moderation. Bacon, bacon, bacon!!!
