Peanut butter good for building muscle mass or cutting?
Id say building mass (bulking)
However if you dont eat it too often, then its ok for cutting i guess
both is used senisibly, bad for both if used stupidly

Nail on the head.
Natural PB is good in decent amounts for bulking, and good in small amounts for cutting. It has lots of unsaturated fats. The brand I have also has omega-3s.

Indeed, Omega Peanut Butter is the bomb. :)
Like they said, good for both bulking and cutting, just depends on the quantity consumed. From what I remember reading in a magazine a while back, 2 tbsp of peanut butter daily helps you lose weight. Helped me out when I did it way back.
Yeah, 2TBS seems the magic number for healthy consumption. I love lightly toasting two slices of whole wheat, then spreading 1TBS on one slice and 1TBS on another. Melts a bit... oooh so delicious.
Natty PB is a godsend. Just as, if not tastier, than the processed kind and much better for you.
yea its good for both but easier bulking though i use it and it tastes good
its good to use as fat. durign cutting. what better fat tha PB fat

Natty PB is barely better for you than regular PB.

Natural Peanut butter has more protein, less fat, no sodium, and no hydrogenated vegetable oil.
I think it's much better :D

If natty does have more protein its only a gram or so but if I remember correctly I thought they were the same if not the regular had more, less fat by 1g of saturated fat and 2g of total fat (so little you won't notice the difference), sodium again such a small amount you won't even notice, and hydrogenated vegetable oil regular PB has such a small amount it equats to .5 grams or less.

I have both skippy and natural peanut butter with me now. Natural peanut butter has 1 less g of fat and 3 more g of protein and the same amount of calories. I would rather have the natural peanut butter.

Skippy Regular:
190 Calories
17g fat
3.5g Sat Fat
7g protein
Skippy Natty
180 Calories
16g fat
2.5g Sat Fat
7g Protein
Try taking the same brand of each PB's when comparing them to each other. I got those right off the skippy website.

Skippy's natural peanut butter is about as far as Natural Peanutbutter as can be.

Did you mean Skippy's natural peanut butter is about as far away from natural peanut as can be?? If so I don't really care I was just using that to show him if he's going to compare peanut butter's to at least use the same brand. And I still stick by my claim that natty PB really isn't even that much better for you than regular PB. If you want to eat natty PB go for it just dont run around saying it's soooo much better for you than regular PB.
skippy natural has another oil in it i think like palm oil or somehting whatever it is its not just peanuts and salt like other natural brands i personally think natty pb taste better and teh price is basically the same so why not get it?
The difference between Nat PB and Reg PB is that Reg is loaded with preservatives..Nat is just a bitch to stir when you first open it

I know, I hate mixing that ****. That's why I switched to Skippy Natural PB, no need to stir and taste really good!

Honestly, it is though. Mine has 5 less grams of fat, 3 more grams of protein and its packed with Omega's. It taste a LOT better too = )

Yea all those perservatives which equate to a few more grams of fat and most of the extra fat is just extra good fat.

What brand is yours? Taste is subjective.
Naturally More. I only knew that until I looked now. It seems that a lot of people think its great. If you ever see it check it out man, the only problem is that I have to SEARCH for it all over.
And taste may be subjective, but when I say its good, its damn good.

Looks like pretty good stuff since it is enriched with omega 3's. Then again they also have bread that has flax in it as well but I don't see anybody jumping to go buy that over regular whole wheat bread. I can't find a nutrition label on it though, all the website has is this

What's the saturated fat? I'll skip the hassle of having to stir it and refridgerate it for the 2 less g's of protein.
ok, so once you have 100 more tablespoons of regular peanut butter it will augment to 100grams more of saturated fat and 15-30 grams of trans fat over a span of about a month or two (about 1-2 tbs. a day)
i'll stick to my natty
I eat a big jar of smickers natty peanut butter a week. I consider myself pretty cut.
Pb is def pretty good for cutting i'd say....lots of mono unsaturated... without enough fat in the cutting diet the body clings to it like no other and would drop the muscle instead . :( not good

First off a serving of peanut butter is 2 tablespoons. One serving of most natty PB's is 1g or 2g less of saturated fat then regular PB. So if you have 1 serving of regular PB for 30 days you will end up consuming 30-60g more of saturated fat IN A MONTH. You won't even notice that difference. ame thing applies for the trans-fat. You could cut out one serving of 1% milk a day and that would make more of a difference than eating regular PB over Natty PB. S Trying to use a large scale of time to make the # look bigger is just stupid.
put the pb in the fridge and you wont need to stir it, it also tastes better. Natty is WAY better than regular, those hydrogenated oils are really bad for you

wow you have no clue what you are talking about. Again taste is subjective it's pointless to even mention that. I think regular PB tastes better does that make it a fact? hydrogenated oils = trans fat, regular PB has .5 or less grams of trans fat again I'll say it your not going to notice that.
