When's the best time to eat Peanut Butter?

[breathingsky]

3:24PM if the sky isn't too cloudy.

If there are a lot of clouds in the sky, I would wait until 6:51, then collect three crickets. Let these crickets run on a flat hard surface, and if the second cricket gets to any of the edges first don't eat the peanut butter for another 16 minutes or you might go catabolic and start storing fat like a mother.

honey and cane sugar in a natural peanut butter.. id personally roll w/ smuckers.. ever since aind told me about it.. im addicted.. just recently picked up 5 jars of it on top of the other 12 i have of smart balance

[aiming45]

I've recently been eating it with almost every meal. Protein + Carbs alone is an insulin spiking bastard combo, so I've been reading, so I take it in as my good fat at each meal. UNLESS, I'm having the required amount come from some other source like fatty fish, avocado's, or Olive Oil.

Also, since you really want to have it in the AM, I'll pass this on. I just read in current Men's Health that having healthy fats with breakfast is actually good for your heart and other overall health factors. So slap on the PB in the AM!

I know the Smart Balance Omega 3 tastes worse than the Smuckers Natty PB (best tasting in opinion) but I like the fact that you don't have to refrigerate it after opening it. I can keep it in my desk at work for an anytime "fix". I've heard others say that they don't refrigerate their PB at all no matter the brand, I thought it would spoil unless it specifically stated that there's no need for it. Opinions?

if u go through a can of smuckers in like 3-4 days like most of us do i dont think it would harm it one bit to tell u the truth.. just microwave it for a few seconds to get it a lil runny again and stir it up with ur knife/spoon and add as much as u want to each meal but make sure the lid goes back on because it can be tempting

i agree i always have a can of smart balance with me.. easy to whip out with a banana in case of emergency.. always got chicken or some whey on me also.. you never know.. sometimes almonds

Dude, it's 2 grams of sugar. I eat Smuckers for taste, but the 1 gram of sugar difference has no bearing on that decision.

[Ultimate Genetics]

Good Question!

No Wonder You Have So Many Reps!

I would think by looking at her pics that there are other factors involved lol.

[clm12704]

Absolutely. The 2G of sugar is nothing... plus this stuff is so good, my wife who was almost on a crusade against healthy foods now likes it more than her old school Peter Pan. Its seriously the best natty I've ever had. Good for you, and it tastes sooooooo good. Plus its cheap from the Wal-Marts...

[lupita007]

Fat is an essential part of a healthy diet, fats should make up at least 15-20% of ur total calories. Natural peanut butter is an excellent source of healthy fats. Regular PB has a small amount of trans fatty acids, but its only like 1-2% so its not the end of the world.

thanx

Holy ****! *writes the name down*

How's the taste compare to say Skippy Natural?

[harryk387]

i eat 2 tablespoons in the morning and 2 tablespoons before bed.

[Richie_Awesome]

regular peanut butter or natural? I've been eating regular, figure I need to eliminate that and replace it with natural. Any thoughts?

Regular is fine.

Natty gets the slight edge as far as beeing the healthier choice. Skippy/Jiff/store brand or whatever gets the edge in taste. The difference really isn't huge, Regular usues a small amount of hydrogenated oils and adds a dash of sugar. But IMO not enought to make that much of a difference either way. I've used both for an extended amount of time.

The diff isn't enough to make you stress out about like say cooking with Vegatable oil -vs- Olive oil.

Regular is fine.

If the regular has hydrogenated oils I'd avoid it. But then again I don't eat much of anything with trans fats nowadays by choice anyway.

Regular is fine.

Good Question!

Preferably, whenever you have an empty mouth.

rofl @ both, epic lulz.

[Richie_Awesome]

i eat 2 tablespoons in the morning and 2 tablespoons before bed.

I have 3 for breakfast, 3-4 for 2nd meal, 3 for 3rd meal, 3 for 4th meal, and 3-4 for my bed meal

A bit too much, eh? But I need major calories to bulk

[SigmaDisiac]

anytime that's not pre or post workout. I'm in a calorie hiking phase so a good 2 tbsp at breakfast and before I go to bed works for me.

[AldoDominic9]

Is the morning ok?

Natural PB is good on Low carb days.. Monounsaturated fat is more easily burned than other fats.. During exercise or to keep your heart beating lungs pumping etc... if your trying to get competition lean avoid it at night. Fat is still fat otherwise use it when you feel hungry. Just remember it is calorie dense.

[just1spark]

i buy publix brand crunchy natty pb and get in 2 servings twice a day. once on my breakfast omelet and another in my nightime shake. the only 2 ingredients are peanuts and salt...also cheap $2.39 for a jar.

Oh.

[AHOWELL94]

alright cool, i have not ever tried any type of natural peanut butter, but eating clean is a life style i really want, so every tidbit helps. appreciate all of the input guys!

smart balance pb is great. best taste by far. there is no such thing as clean eating though...just food choices with greater nutritional value than others.
