When there's almost no PB left in the jar...

Who among you sits your azz down on the couch with an almost-empty PB jar and just spoon-feeds yourself instead of trying to spread it out (pun intended) over the next day or two?

I have a weird thing about seeing an amount of PB left in the jar that I know I can consume in a sitting before getting tired of it, and not being able to avoid just eating like a tub of yogurt.

Im pretty sure I had like 3 servings remaining, and it quickly become a side-dish to my stir fry last night...

"Meh, I can finish that"... I thought to myself.


Am I weird, or do ya'll have a similar 'just finish the last of the jar' mentality around some foods? Like ice cream, cereal, etc...

I eat the remainder with a spoon directly from the jar.

I have this with everything that I like. We never had any left overs before I started counting calories.

Just curious, what’s a «serving»? For me 50 grams is one serving of PB, lol. I put it all on a banana so that the entire banana is covered with pb and eat it with a spoon

a serving meaning like large spoonfuls or so... the remainder came up to like a little less than a centimeter from the bottom.

I got the 'clean your plate' mentality ;)

When I can't squeeze any more toothpaste out of the tube I cut it open with a pair of scissors then use my toothbrush to collect the residual paste. There is enough for 1-2 more brushings.

Well with PB its an unwritten rule that I must share the last with my dogs and give them the jar once I cannot easily get more out woth a spoon. The jar(plastic) is then completely clean in 5-10 minutes.

I do this with a lot of things as well as someone else mentioned.

I also follow in the footsteps of my mom, who was overweight, but you rarely ever saw her eat a meal. As a kid I barely saw her eat a meal, because she was always cooking, then serving everyone’s plates and then checking on everyone and then taking people’s dishes and doing the dishes etc(7 kids in house). It wasn’t until later on I realized she ate quite a bit while “tasting” all of the things she was cooking. And she would usually finish everyones leftovers as she didn’t want food to go to waste.

This is exactly what I do LOL

I eat it with a spoon until it's the last little bit and then I give the jar to my dog :D

I always open a fresh jar and leave the nearly empty one for my wife to deal with. Srs.

I use like 1/4 of a jar anytime I get into it so I have no time to scrape the bottom

You rookies still use a spoon? Gotta get a spatula in there and scrape every last fragment out.

Literally just happened to me. Buttered up my toasted English Muffin (use lots of butter, Kerry Gold, it burns fat, true story) & had just a bit left.
Thought I could give to dog..but too much for that,
I could use all of it, would probably just be waay to much & kill the whole lil meal,
or save it for tomorrow morning & just use it on half..I did this one

Wait… are you saying you just ate straight up butter ?

Cottage cheese, I get the pink tubs at Costco, and I’m like oh there is maybe more than I would just normally put on my plate but….. I’m not leaving half a serving in this big tub.

Cereal if there is only two servings left in the box or roughly I just finish the box and berries too

If there is just a bit of milk left I’ll just drink it and throw out the jug too

Oh and hummus definitely sit my butt down cut some extra cucumbers and eat it

AH yeah hummus is a good example

i don’t particularly care for hummus. But chips on the other hand if there is like 1/3ish of the bag left, I might as well just finish it off. whether that is plain or with salsa or guac or whatever.

I looooove hummus, as long as it's not too loaded with lemon. Some brands use way, way too much and it comes out super acidic... not good.

There was a local company in Seattle that made the best hummus I've ever had but I haven't seen it in stores for a while :(

It was really creamy and earthy tho... amazing stuff.

Thanks for mentioning it, now I'm going to buy some today. :D

Not sure if they sell it on the west coast or not but Sabra is great IMO. The one with the garlic, herbs and tomato in the center.

I personally I’m a Trader Joe’s hummus fan and I agree with Adam some hummus has too much lemon and it’s gross and acidic
