Can you eat peanut butter, yes or no??

[TerriDoodle 6]

I love Peanut Butter and I've heard some cannot eat it. Can you?

I eat it but not alot....

[beachgirl 2]

I just had some

[piercedqt78 658]

I can eat it, but not on crackers. That seems to make a big plug for my band...UGH! When I get a craving for something sweet I have a spoonful of no sugar added Peanut Butter with some fake honey on it. (the fake honey is made with splenda, I get it in the gourmet section at my grocery store, they also have sugarfree applebutter and pumpkin butter) I also adore gourmet peanut butters, like the ones with raisins and cinnamon mixed in and cashew butter, almond butter and Soy butter will do in a pinch... I have also been know to enjoy a peanut butter cup sometimes too I know that Russell Stover makes a sugar free peanut butter cup, but I like the real thing.....only sometimes. ~Mandy

I have to be careful with anything on crackers.

I try to stay away from Peanut Butter as I'm prone to eating it by big spoonfuls.

[NataliesMommy 1]

I can. And it's a good source of protein....

[Ariel 1]

I have a tablespoon for 100 calories in my Protein Shake every day.

I miss Peanut Butter desperately.....

Hi Terry, I can eat Peanut Butter... just a couple of small spoons, though.

OCCASIONALLY, I toast a half of an english muffin and put a bit of PB on top. I have to chew good, and wait several minutes between bites. Most of the time I'm full after 3-4 bites and throw the rest away.

You know whats hard? I love scrambled eggs and grits.. but I'm lucky if I can finish even 1 egg. And, after a couple of bites of grits I'm done... man, I miss those!!

PB okay for me! (no pun intended)

Um, I can't eat normal Peanut Butter by itself. However, Breyers Peanut Butter Tracks ice cream goes down really well, unfortunately! :faint:

Yes I can too but I hardly ever do now that I realised that it has 6 Calories per gram and a gram is very small. I used to fill shakes with 2 or 3 rounded tablespoons of PB and was wondering why I wasn't losing weight since I was eating "healthy". There are much better ways to get good Proteins IMNSHO.

Per 100g (about 4 oz) PB will give you 50g of fat and 24g of Protein and 589 Cal

Egg Whites, eggs, tuna, chicken, Cottage cheese would give you much more Proteins for much less fat and calories.

Anyway since I did my little research I limit my PB to one tiny flat teaspoon at 10g and it seems a lot since for the same calories I can eat almost half a cup of cottage cheese.< /p>

I try to average 300/400 Cals a meal 4-5 times a day and one meal could be 2 ounces of Peanut Butter and nothing else or the following

Breakfast Chili 100g 102 Cal

Cottage Cheese 50g 50 Cal

1 Toast 98 Cal

1 egg 80 cal

330 Cal

Egg Whites 1 cup 115 Cal 24.1g Prot

Chili (Canned) 100g 100 Cal 6.6 g Prot 2.8g Fat

1 toast 35g 98 Cal 3.3g Prot 0.9g Fat

Philadelphia XLite 25g 31 Cal 3.2g Prot 1.2g Fat

344 Cal (37.2P, 4.9F)

or even

Olive Oil 3g 27 Cal 3g Fat

Butter 3g 22 Cal 3g Fat

Egg Whites 1 cup 115 Cal 24.1g Prot

Mushrooms 155 g 33 Cal

Green Onions , Caps, Toms 28 Cal 125 g* see box

Ham 38g 38 Cal 7g Prot 1g Fat

Parmesan 10g 56 Cal 3g Prot 5g Fat

319 Cal 516 Cal

31g Prot 12g Fat

Note the Parmesan could easily be replaced by the same amount of PB but it just doesn't taste the same on an omelette LOL

I ate two tablespoons of natural Peanut Butter spread on two pieces of whole wheat toast earlier today and had no problems.
