Hey guys, I have a lot of peanut butter but it seems like a lot of fat for only 2 teaspoon (32g). The calories are up to 190 per serving, and calories from fat is 140. Like God damn its 140'190 that's fat. Should I be eating this for the protein while theres so much fat. I guess it's mostly saturated fat and I don't know if that's good or bad but I had rather stick to 4 egg whites, and whey protein and 2 steak everyday. Each serving is 7g of protein. Do you guys think I should eat it or get a less fat peanut butter brand?

Actually, the serving size is 2 Tablespoons. Eating fats is fine, you NEED fats in your diet. It won't matter if you eat it, so long as you are physically active.
I usually use 4TBSP for a Peanutbutter sandwich as a Preworkout snack.

Ya, I understand that a serving is only 2 teaspoon but still, that is a lot of fat or maybe I could just be naive.
What is EFAs? And even though it's healthy fat, it will still get you fat yes? I can understand that eating fat is ok but isn't this a lot?

Tablespoon, not teaspoon.
Tablespoons are bigger.
The fats in Peanutbutter are GOOD for you, they're not like the fats that are in Big Macs.

Be careful with PB. It's ok to eat it if you don't have enough fats in your diet but it is also a food that is very easy to go overboard on...and get fat.
A king may move a man, a father may claim a son. But remember that, even when those who move you be kings or men of power, your soul is in your keeping alone. When you stand before God you cannot say "but I was told by others to do thus" or that "virtue was not convenient at the time." This will not suffice. Remember that.

I was told fat does not make you fat. Saturated fat will, however, raise cholesterol levels and increase the risk of heart-disease. Thoughts?Originally Posted by K_muscle*RANDOM INFO*

Listen up, the ONLY way you will gain weight is if you eat more calories than you burn in a day. Fat does NOT make you fat. You need fats in your everyday diet just keep them moderate just like you would proteins and carbohydrates.Originally Posted by -Nostalgia-

Make sure you're eating NATURAL peanut butter not the regular processed stuff.
