PB is a great source of healthy fats... Not the best source of protein. You have to take everything in consideration not just the protein in all food. So no you can not eat alot of PB and not worry about the fat (Assuming that you are trying to hit your daily targets mainly with PB)

[On Fire]

No, you cannot rely on peanut butter.

^^this- Healthy fats in the respect that you are enjoying them in MODERATION..... not when trying to consume enough to reach your Protein goals! now... mixing a Tbsp in your protein shake, or on top of protein cake... thats a good choice.

I have < NO > personal experience or much knowledge about anything keto , just putting it out there : isn't a greater amount of pb something specific or useful in a keto diet ?

There are carbs in PB (at least in mine)... so - no.

[man0war]

Oh right sry
I never had PB myself

[G-LoWe]

Do not rely on just peanut butter for your protein! Peanut butter is good here, and there but there are much better protein sources with less fat content. Fish, chicken, tuna, eggs etc. I do like to put a little spread of PB on a low carb whole wheat piece of bread sometimes for a quick on the go snack.

Peanut butter is a decent source for protein, because it's made from peanuts and nuts are high in protein. However, peanut butter is also high in fat. Even the low-fat versions are high in hydrogenated oils, which is bad for cholesterol.

Yes. But only if you horse down some Alli with it.


Oh, and don't forget the man diapers.

Unless you're on some insanely high calorie keto bulk: no. What is it, 7-8 grams of protein per serving?

So approx 200 calorie per serving:


Say you were going for 200 grams of protein a day:

So lets do the math


200/7 = 28.5 servings (Total protein/Protein per serving PB)

28.5 x 200 = 5,700 calories. (Total servings x calories per serving)

[On Fire]

Say you were going for 200 grams of protein a day

For the sake of argument, who needs 200g of protein in their daily diet?

[Thebigcorbowski]

Are you kidding? Lots of people need 200 grams of protein. For some it could be lower or higher. It was an arbitrary number, nonetheless.

This... My mum was shouting at me for continuously blocking up the toilet. Was consuming around 150grams of it a day!

A BB'er that weighs 200 lbs and wants 1g per lb?

I said needs, not wants.

[zmcdole]

I said needs, not wants.

In most circumstances, whether it be bulking or cutting, most will agree that 1g/lb is a pretty good number to aim for.

[YoungEx20]

It's a source of healthy fats. Not a primary source of protein.

[determined4000]

minimal requirement does not necessarily = optimal intake

Most broscientists. Back that up for me.

[liammccarthy]

as long as you hit your daily macro targets, nuts can be used as your primary source of protein. (your macro target would have to be very high fat though...)

[zmcdole]

Well, a certain Layne Norton recommends this if you go and read his precontest article at the top of the contest prep page. I'm not on my knees with a donut hole shape in my mouth, but I would say he's a pretty credible source of info in regards to ones protein needs. His knowledge is obtained through research and not broscience. I know that the article is a little old, but I'm pretty sure he still stands by the ole broscientist saying of "1g/lb".

[franko man]

no.. absolutely not a good idea
peanut butter contains way more fat than protein
a serving contains 8g of fat and merely 3g of protein
in addition, the calories in fat are more than twice as much as calories in protein !

Get your protein sources from elsewhere..

Need vs. Want, but still plenty of reasons why more is better.

Is your broscience any more valid?

[Obnoxious123]

No you can't. Peanut Butter is not a complete souce of protein.

[randomhero565]

eat peanut butter for the fats not protein, PB is very calorie dense, 2 tablespoons is about 200 cals and theres about 6 or so grams of protein. so do the math, you could eat 2 chicken breasts and get more then enough protein with alot less cals.
