[shawkner]

Is it worth eating if i'm already getting enough protein in my diet?

[awbasa]

Only if you're not getting enough healthy fats

I dont know much about dieting, people has told me to stay away from peanut butter, because its bad for you, Im not a know it all so i didnt know, thanks

[ilove2run]

hmm whom ever said peanut butter is bad must be the DEVIL lol. They probably were refering it to a "bad food", because it's caloricly dense, also a lot of people have a mind set as FAT will make you FAT, in which Nut Butter (Peanut Butter) is high in poly/mono fat's. But they are all good fo youz, including sat. fat's are good as well, so drink some coconut milk w/ that PB.

[YoungEx20]

Get natural peanut butter. It will contain natural peanut oil rather then the hydrogenated vegetable fats in regular PB. If you get Natty PB it's a healthy natural fat source.

A diet without peanut butter is a sad diet indeed.

[staydown11]

be careful with the coconut h2o or coconut milk for that matter, you will spend some time on the bowl!

[StrongIron84]

Depends what your goals are. If you're looking to gain weight and mass, Peanut Butter is an excellent source.

If you're looking for lean muscle mass you would be better off getting your protein from lean meat products.

[hark_z]

Doesnt hurt anything to eat PBJ's, right? Not a big peanut butter person here.

[atreyubeat]

Natty PB, is a great way to get your healthy fats in. 2 TBSP a day is max for me, either this or around 24 - 30 completely natural almonds, (no added salt or anything), is another good substitute. I personally go with Smuckers Natural PB, either creamy or nutty, . The reason some people may have said PB is bad for yah, is that regular Jiffy or Peter Pan has some processed or added salt, etc., just go natural PB, and stick to your macros, and you'll have a great addition to your diet. Tasty and nutritious!

[VTRunner]

Oh course its worth eating! PB is the best thing ever invented (right up there with the lightbulb and all). Whoever said pb is bad for you needs to be institutionalized. On a cut, you probably cant eat as much because its calorie dense but there is no reason to not include a tablespoon or 2 a day.

[Flexxo]

Nut butters (or even raw/sprouted nuts) are a fabulous way to add great healthy fats to any diet. No matter your goals. Sure, it's calorie dense, but calories are calories and I much rather fit calories from healthy fats than protein or carbs into my daily eating.

FFL! Fats For Life!

What about dem sludge sammiches. chocolate casein, naturally more pb, some cinnamon and two slices of arnolds whole wheat bread... My mouth is watering just picturing it!

[YoungEx20]

Furthermore, I should add that Peanut Butter should not be considered a primary protein source, but rather a primary fat source. If you're eating Peanut Butter to get a significant amount of protein from it the fat calories will add up very quickly at 9 cals per gram.

Just stick to natural pb. I prefer Smuckers.

Tastes good.

[Dr. Horse]

Yea thats a good question, so peanut butter is a healthy fat?

It's debatable, actually.

[J.Ho]

Smuckers Natural here too. I like to mix a tablespoon in with some low carb plain or vanilla yogurt for my 'dessert

[YoungEx20]

It's debatable, actually.

Debatable how? (Assuming it's Natty)

Man, I have **** loads of protein in my diet, but I kill some peanut butter. It's a great snack...3 spoonfulls of peanut butter and a glass of water.
