Peanut Butter bad overall?

"
These results show that PP intake alters body composition by reducing skeletal muscle mass and liver weight as well as muscle contractility and lipid metabolism. Adding a complete protein such as C might partially counteract these adverse effects."



Does anyone know what exactly this study means ? I thought peanut butter is great for bodybudilding but I found this study after a research.

Opinions ?

Looks related to protein 'quality' - so if you get most of your intake from meat and whey then I would hazard a guess that you'll be fine.

Also, rat study.

[Mrpb]

Those were rats and they didn't eat peanut butter.

Peanut butter is great, healthy and it tastes good but you shouldn't be eating it for the protein.

Reading this after eating my protein oatmeal with a big spoon of PB on top.

No regrets

Hey ya’ll peanut butter is my main protein source, derp derp

Remember when peanut butter was everyone's main source of protein? Pepperidge Farms remembers.

This. If PB's bad, then I don't wanna be good.

Does entirely natural peanut butter taste any kind of good? For 27 years I’ve passed by it on the shelf after looking at the price and never bothered. I imagine it’s something like dark chocolate to milk chocolate

It's the only way to go imo. If you can, find one of those farmer's markets where you can just use one of those machines to bust the nuts giggidy right in front of you. The same goes for almond or cashew butter. You might be surprised how much you like or even prefer the natty version.

You’ve never bought standard peanut butter!?

Not at all like dark vs milk chocolate. To compare, take a handful of roasted peanuts and eat them. Next take a Tbsp of vegetable oil and stick it in your mouth, then stick a Tbsp of table sugar in your mouth, now throw a handful of peanuts in your mouth and chew it all up together, so you get a nice sweet and greasy taste and mouthfeel. Thats the main difference

This is an absolutely genius analogy. I mean just spot-fuking on! I honestly can’t even eat nut butters that aren’t natty anymore.

[twistedbodyman]

It depends on the type of peanutbutter honestly. Most stuff in stores is pumped with added sugar. I typically aim for an organic, natural peanut butter with limited preservatives. It's fine in moderation

I actually have one that has them not far at all from my house. I’ve passed that machine just as many times lol

I guess I HAVE to spend the extra $3 now after reading all the comments. Sigh..

It's not expensive dude... it's just ground up peanuts...

Well it’s not like peanut butter is the only thing I buy every week nor my number 1 priority.

It’s easy to say something isn’t THAT expensive when you don’t know what someone’s budget is, what they are saving for, what they’re paying off, etc.

But if I try it and think it’s worth the extra money each week, I’m sure it’ll become a part of my pickup.

Also, most of it being TOO EXPENSIVE to even try was just me trying to be funny. I just suck arse in that arena..

If you have Trader Joe’s near you I think its like $1.89 a jar. If you splurge for the Organic Valencia then its like $3.89. My other go to is Laura Scudders crunchy at Target. There is also one at Walmart that is pretty cheap but I forget the brand. But yeah, $2 is hardly expensive.

If I wanted to splurge, I'd get almond or cashew butter. It hurts my soul to see how much the prices on those skyrocketed the last few years.

I think its because of the fad of nut milks. Almonds used to be barely more than peanuts. Once almond milk took off the prices like tripled. Cashews were always more but have steadily increased.

I’m guessing with the rise in oatmilk trend that oats will soon be no longer staple priced.

Yeah it’s a good price. I think the TJs beats it on flavor tho

[desslok]

Actually my favorite flavor atm is the Good & gather brand at Target. Idk, maybe i have just had too much of the TJs and its just different.

I 2nd this. I have a serving of it probably at least every other day & the value is great. Cashew butter’s a bit pricier for some reason.

I bought this single-serving little pistachio butter cup not long ago... it was pretty weird... I kind of liked it for the novelty but it's definitely a once-in-a-while thing... this was the brand.

Yeah pistachiobutter isn’t for me either. I also once tried macadamia butter from whole foods and it was so oily it was hard to eat, kind of like half melted butter or ghee.

I very well could be thinking of a different kinds of natural nut butter then. I remember seeing something like $9 a standard sized jar..
