Better than JIF?
I see alot of people eat healthy nutbutters. i'm a jiffy girl, and finicky as a cat. I love JIF for its smooth smooth texture most importantly, but also the roasted peanut taste.

Been here to long to ask this but....

I'm pretty sure thats…

The Annoying Calorie Equation
If I am counting "calories burned", and i'm dieting and exercising, should I only count the calories literally burned from working out, or both those and the deficit from the maintence via my diet.
