natural vrs regular peanut butter?? does it really make a difference??

[peco_12345]

hey guys i just found out that im not eating natural peanut butter, i thought the one without the jelly is natural and then i read my label and it says it has sugar, vegatable oil i think higher trans fat etc. is natural peanut butter from a bodybuilding nutritional aspect that much better?

[fade2green514]

additives are additives. most foods have them nowadays sadly. especially sugar.

but, ANPB is available to you if you're cleansing your body of preservatives etc... try it out imo see if you like it. why not right?

In terms of body composition, the macronutrient/caloric values are what is important.

that's funny!! Sorry..


I don't think it makes much of a difference either but synthetic will be here shortly to tell you the dangers of trans fat.

[Thread Bomber]

you should be more worried about whats in your water

[TheDarkKnight27]

Natty PB is definatley a better choice, why would you wanna put all of that extra bs inside your body. It's also lower in calories because it doesn't have added sugar.

[FiveStarPre]

Honestly i like the taste of Natty PB better anyway...but its really not a HUGE difference nutritionally...but you for health reasons you may not want the extra ingredients in regular PB

Synthetic is our resident peanut butter expert, he will be with you shortly.

FWIW, it is incredibly easy to make your own homemade peanut butter.

Get some unsalted skinned peanuts, throw them into a food processor (mini mixer) and grind them until they are not only dust but turn into a paste. They will after a time, though you may have to occasionally stir it as the sticky powder sticks to the side. This will take a few minutes. Don't overfill the food processor. I fill 1/3 to 1/2. Depending on how dry the original nuts are, you may need to add a spoonful of oil to avoid it becoming too dry (noticeable mostly next day). I use canola oil due to types of fats and omega-3. After it is a paste, add a small pinch of salt, plus sweetener or honey if that is your taste.

Skippy Natty PB....good stuff!

[Cheftepesh]

Taste wise skippy low fat is great, but natural is the way to go. With natural there is no sugar or anything else you want to avoid.

That added sugar is going to get me through almost 20 miles of hiking next weekend. Bring on the evil sugar!


low fat PB sammiches, TJ turkey jerky, and bananas

Inb4synthetic...his spidey sense should be tingling

[DrunkParkRanger]

As far as taste goes, natty pb tastes more like actual peanuts imo, pretty good

[Cumulonimbus]

No worries OP, synthetic will come shortly to answer all your questions.

[MadDogMalesh]

I mean if its just palm oil and sugar added its really not that bad then. When its your hydrogenated oil THEN its bad for you, well not your body comp but your body itself. If it isn't hydrogenated then your much better off!

I would say PM Synthetic & and he will give you the rundown on tranny fat, etc.

My opinion is to try both types & see which one you like better, and fit it in your macros. I personally prefer the natty stuff.

That's a fantastic idea, I'm going to have to try this, thanks!!!

[schabowy90]

God here we go with the "same macros" excuse. Op get natural Jif. It tastes better than the other gooey natural **** and might as well stay away from the hydrogenated oils and bs in it. natty Jif doesn't separate oils stays creamy.

[Yanis]

You will find that natural peanut butter have less sugar most of the time.

OP it seems you know the bad effects of unnatural PB. We should all make an effort to change the industry by boycotting the artificial crap product. You save 25 cents now... but for the company its probably cheaper to make natural PB than one with added ingredients... they just mark it up... now if no one buys the crap PB they will have to drop it from shelves, and the natural PB in the end will be 25 cents cheaper due to competition reasons.

That 25 cents you save now does not save the $250 you will be paying insurance in the future, or supplements to help burn excess fat off.

Take that corporate economy!
