peanuts or natural peanut butter??

[taurus]

Hi,

I can see that a lot of body builders include natural peanut butter in the pre-bed meal. I've been doing this for a while and can't get enough of the stuff My question is, is there a difference having roasted peanuts (un-salted) before bed, instead of natural peanut butter? If you have the same quantity of either, isn't it the same thing? Peanuts are much cheaper than peanut butter.

you must be lookin at the wrong natural peanut butter cuz mine costs the same as regular peanut butter (on sale for $.99)

no nutritional difference, whatevers cheaper i guess

Great reading comprehension skills there, mate.

From what I have compared there is no difference, so go with what you like.

I have always been scared of peanut butter, afraid of gaining weight I suppose.

My Natural PB has 1 ingrediant....peanuts........so guess that would answer your question huh.....

as to gaining weight...as with anything the key is moderation....Natural PB is high in fat but it is good fats,,,and fats which need to be part of any cutting diet....you just cant sit and eat a whole jar of it...usually 1 or 2 spoonfulls of the stuff is a serving for BB ers

How much worse is the stuff that doesn't seperate compared to natural peanut butter?

[MagicPunt]

depends on the additives, some are very close to the same, some add tons of sugar gotta check the label

[aztecwolf161]

eating plan nuts is just as good, but just stay away from those honey roasted and heavily flavoured(salted) types, even though they are way grub

[CKRanger11]

Would you guys consider it a terrible crime against the proper bulking bodybuilder form if I ate the "lightly salted" planters dry-roasted peanuts as opposed to the unsalted ones? How much worse is it?

I can't get enough of the dry roasted peanuts. :P

[MagicPunt]

no, not at all. just make sure u drink plenty of water with them (and make sure there's no additives)

and remember.... when cutting Natural Almond Butter is an even better choice

Natural Almond Butter or plain Almonds, have less carbs and even more healthy fats.


I keep both in my fridge, good stuff!
