peanut butter


Quote  |  Reply
Oh my I just ate a snack celery with peanut butter, and put it in the food log, and peanut butter is so high in calories. Could I buy some type of no calorie peanut butter? Do they sell such a thing?

It doesn't exist. You're better off limiting your portion size of peanut butter and not eating it every day ;)
Then we should be the first people to make up a such thing they should have option for everything in low calories that is.
Well, it's not no-calorie, but there is a product called PB2, which is powdered peanut butter.  It's only 54 calories for 2 tbsp dry... then you add water and it tastes VERY close to the real thing.  I love this stuff and it makes it so I can have pb every day.  You can order it from bellplantion.com.  It's about $26 for 4 jars, after shipping and handling.  It's great stuff!
better n peanut butter is good too. it's 100 calories for 2 tbsp.
And the hidden moral to this story is ....

Look it up BEFORE you eat it!
i have PB2 and i always eat the better than peanut and peanut wonder. both of the last two are 100cals for two tbsp. 2grams of fat. that is vvery good. and i like the taste of it better than reg. peanut butter. i eat it daily!
I absolutely adore peanut butter! I use the kraft stuff and it has 25% less fat than usual and only 80 calories per tblspn. I LOOOOOVE IT. Just limit how much you take.
high calorie doesnt mean it bad for you!

real, all natural and  oil free peanut butter is extremely good for you. I eat it with my toast almost every morning. ITs very filling and high in good fats. ( look for the peanut butters with other added oil, just peanuts as ingredients)

why avoid it's nutrition and benefits since its high in calories?

i find the 2 tablespoons of peanut butter hold me better than many other foods..
I'm not saying that peanut butter is bad for you or anything, but you can't keep eating high calorie healthy things because weight loss has pretty much everything to do with calorie is vs calories out!
oh, i know.

but if you want to have a good sized peanut butter and jelly sandwhich, then i say why not??

its high in calories, yes, but it can be very good for you.
be careful if you do get the pb2 though because you may wind up eating the whole jar quicker than regular peanut butter. at least that's what's happened with me. i got my package on thursday of 4 jars, and I've already gone through 3 of them :(. I think I'm starting to feel the effects. 
i don't think anyone mentioned light peanut butter, it's not a tonne better for you but at least it's something, comes in smooth Skippy. hope that helps you out.
I suggest buying the all natural nut butters...no added sugar or salt or ANYTHING! I love cashew butter and almond butter. Yes...high in calories and fat, but it's the GOOD kind of fat, and as long as you keep it to about a tablespoon, you will be fine.

fitnutzbutter.com try low calorie peanut butter its great
I have natural peanut butter, and I read, instead of stirring in the oil on top, to dump it off, which I now do.

I ordered a case of the PB2 last summer and loved it, but now that its gone and I've lost most of my goal weight, just bought store peanut butter.
