Okay so I've always heard of Penut Butter and how great it is blah blah.

But then I take a look at a couple of different kinds of common household penut butters, I just see about 2 - 3g protein, and 8 -9 grams of fat (usually with some saturated), gram or two of sugar, couple grams of carbs, and around 100 calories (this is a tablespoon serving).

So uh, what? Sounds like a good way to get fatty mcfat fat.

oh, and I absolutely love penut butter.

not all fats are created equal! fats from nuts are good fats!

but the saturated fats can't be a good thing...

You gotta get natural peanut butter if you're staying healthy. The kind where the oil separates and you have to mix it. Kraft, Jiff etc is processed garbage. Natural almond butter is also quite good for you.

i try not to eat peanutbutter.. il occasionally have the PB&J sandwich tho, but for the ammount of fat in it,, not worth it!

Upon further research, I have decided to continue eating peanut butter, just cutting back a bit. I eat too much as it is.

" Peanut Butter Is Satiating & Satisfying...Perfect For Dieters. "
quoted from the website u sent...
thats bs.. like one tablespoon has 3-8 grams of fat... perfect for dieters WHO AREN'T EATING IT! lol

...

They are good fats (for the most part, non-organic Peanut Butter does contain some trans fats). I don't think you have the credentials to argue with the writers on that site without backing it up.

no you are wrong

my friend eats peanut butter on whole wheat bread after every workout and it helps his muscles recover and grow pretty fast. he doesnt drink protein shakes because his mom wont let him.

i eat a penut butter and jelly sandwich every morning because thats the only eatable thing my school serves in the morning

oh please dont make this forum sound noob
