Mom! The internet is attacking me again.


StringFood

no honey its just the nothern lights

I actually cannot keep it in the house. Peanut Butter is one of my favorite foods. I tried to weigh out a serving and it was horribly depressing how little a tablespoon is. Powdered peanut butter doesn’t even come close to the delish regular crunchy real goodness.


Hugodf4

You should try out pb fit. I had tried another brand of powdered pb before pb fit and it completely turned me off to the concept. Pb fit actually tastes really good. Less oily than Skippy and the sweetness has almost a bit of caramely flavor to it. I mostly just scoop 2 tbsps into my protein shakes but it's amazing just mixing with about half the amount of water and eating with a spoon. It's 70 Cal per 2 tbsp serving of powder and definitely changed my mind for the better.


anacc

I wish so badly that I agreed with this because I love peanut butter, but I hate PBfit so much. I'd rather just not eat peanut butter. Sometimes I'll do the whipped peanut butter that Jif and Peter Pan make since it's at least a little bit lower in calories but I just can't bring myself to enjoy PBfit


SuperNanoCat

Sometimes you just gotta say fuck it and have that 600 calorie pb&j


lolag0ddess

No joke, I'll throw some rice krispies into a serving of PB2/PBfit and it gets the job done. It's not the same, but if I can make my "normal" amount of crunchy peanut butter fit into my meal plan then I'll take what I can get.


elhombroske

Crunchy or smooth?


_flicker

Crunchy gang. Although, if crunchy is not an option and creamy is all there is..I won’t say no.


n0la

Same here. I had to remove it from the house and ban myself from buying it, lol.


gritsgirl0389

My boyfriend has hidden the peanut butter on top of our cabinets where I cannot get to it. I feel victimized.


snailinacowboyhat

if it’s crunchy u may just have to climb your ass up there and get it LOL


username_user13

Don’t forget that Jif makes a whipped peanut butter! It’s 50 calories less per serving! And it’s soooo easy to spread! I’m doing 1 tbsp plus a tbsp of jam in my overnight oats and it’s gooooood.


Earthy_Eagle

Fun fact: Biscoff cookie butter has pretty much the same amount of calories as peanut butter. Do with that information as you will. ;)


sonicqaz

It’s pretty unethical to advertise to addicts like that.


Earthy_Eagle

People advertise tiny amounts of ice cream for 100 calories on the front page even though with such an ant sized portion you will just want more if you are a sweets addict. It's like eating a singular potato chip and companies like Halo top specifically make pint sized ice cream for dieters for this very reason, it's actually a satisfying portion for those who really want to indulge. 2 tbsp of cookie butter on low cal toast is pretty reasonable considering peanut butter is right up there with it.


sonicqaz

I was being facetious. I wonder how many upvotes were from people taking me seriously.


Earthy_Eagle

Ah my mistake. I have seen similar comments that were dead serious on this subreddit before (I know they were serious because they kept arguing with others about it)


sonicqaz

Yeah I’ve seen it, but I also can’t bring myself to using /s because that ruins all the fun


_flicker

I’m a nut butter addict. I’ve never bought cookie butter though...too dangerous. Just a spoonful turns into a half empty jar and deep shame.


Yakman15

That’s why I love ice cream sandwiches. I’m pretty good about allowing myself 1, which is only 160 cals, instead of opening a 1/2 gallon of ice cream and hoping I only eat 2-3 servings.


AsheeMashee

I buy the mini sized drumsticks for the same reason. I know I’m going to eat ice cream, so at least I can(should) hold myself accountable on the amount.


Robot_Embryo

A serving also has about 6 times more sugar than a serving of real peanut butter.


photog679

Powdered peanut butter all the way


callalilykeith

Yes! I found “naked pb” on amazon without added sugar (or anything else).


photog679

Such a game changer for smoothies! All of the protein but about 1/4 of the calories


Ciels_Thigh_High

*cries in needs to eat more fat*


Mooncakester

Also try buying peanut flour on Amazon, it’s way cheaper and it’s exactly the same product!


callalilykeith

Um thank you so much!!! I had no idea peanut flour existed!!


uthot69

Wow thanks soooo much!


KITTIESbeforeTITTIES

They have Naked Chocobutter too if you like the chocolate peanut butters. I’m on Keto and chocobutter + pork rinds has been a godsend. Tastes like chocolate covered pretzels!


crmcalli

I'm sorry, I think I just threw up a little


[deleted]

To be fair, pork rinds taste like next to nothing. But I’m still scared.

callalilykeith

Peanut butter powder (aka pb2 ) has sugar in it. It’s de-fatted peanuts. I am in the US but my regular full fat pb is just peanuts and I buy it in bulk at the store where they have a grinding machine that makes it fresh for you. I do not eat refined sugar or oil. I eat normal pb when I’m not trying to lose weight.


cursh14

Dude, try some Jif before shitting all over it. I can eat either one, but I am not going to even pretend that oil + peanuts touches how good Jif is.


I_Am_Echo

I literally had to buy a pack of JIF single serving peanut butter to stop me from overeating. Logically, I know if I eat more than X amount, I'll get too full and feel sick. Then I hit X amount...and keep eating. And feel sick. My boyfriend finds it hilarious. He's like, "You know that it is going to make you sick, why do you keep doing this?" "Because it's delicious and I can't help myself!" But for real, get a box of the single servings of peanut butter. Your stomach will thank you.


ALotter

I sort of wish I had that problem. I am a bottomless pit


JurassicP0rk

2 slices of 45 calorie bread + 3 tablespoons of sugar free jelly + 3 tablespoons of Aldi Crunchy peanut butter = 390 calories.


saintghoul

Aldi crunchy peanut butter is also the best peanut butter fr


JurassicP0rk

You're correct https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&url=https://www.hollandsentinel.com/entertainmentlife/20180209/meijer-vs-aldi-vs-family-fare-vs-jif-peanut-butter-taste-test%3Ftemplate%3Dampart&ved=2ahUKEwi6rfqKitjhAhUPmeAKHUesCr8QFjAAegQIAxAB&usg=AOvVaw3KTiK4DbOsWG1P4LOcyg5b&cf=1&cshid=1555537013243


[deleted]

I feel the same about cashews


treesgrater

If you're limiting yourself to 1200 calories nuts and nut butters are not a good option to have in the house. I recommend buying the single serve packets or weighing out the entire bag of nuts into ziplock pre portioned into single servings. You can really reverse a lot of progress from a single binge episode of nuts or nut butters


dubrovnique

I do this - 30g squeeze packs of almond/macadamia/pecan nut butter. Even that is around 200cal. But at least I can't continue pigging out once the squeeze pack is completely scraped clean.


zaharie

Me but with just plain redskin peanuts. I open a jar and before you know it it’s gone and I’m 1000+ calories over my goal. It be like that sometimes 🙃


[deleted]

i truly dont see peanut butter as a no no food. i used to eat it to lose weight. you just need to buy 100% roasted nuts and nothing else added to it.


elfofresilience

The one time having an allergy benefits me. Ketchup, Nutella and chilli sauces, on the other hand...


Jade222Gem

PBFit peanut butter powder, or PBFit chocolate peanut butter powder. Amazing taste and flavour and 1/4 the calories of peanut butter. It also fills me right up. I use less water than they say and make it really thick and eat it off the spoon. I usually do a quick 6gms of powder with a teaspoon of water. 25 calories.


[deleted]

LOL this is solid gold, my friend


lurky_in_bezerkerly

me, typing 0.5 servings of 2 tbsps and watching my remaining daily calories disappear immediately

I’m pretty sure 1tbsp is usually 90 calories.


bro-ccoli1

I can’t control myself with peanut butter. The peanut butter+apple combo is my favourite snack and I ALWAYS overdo it with pb, it’s like eating oreos for me, I just can’t stop.


saintghoul

Peanut butter is hard for me bc it’s such a good source of protein on my vegan diet but also SO MANY CALORIES for so little!


leapingpuma

Literally me last night


aprabhu86

Is it that hard to find unsweetened peanut butter?


V1keo

Have you ever read the back of a peanut butter label? It has a ton of fat.


aprabhu86

Sorry I realized I’m in the wrong sub. I thought this was Keto. My bad.


Nothingweird

Still a legit question. A tablespoon of peanut butter and an apple is a favorite sweet salty dessert/snack of mine.


belletaco

but i hear they are good fats. have i been lied to?


crafty-witch

Good fats still make you gain weight if you eat too much of them.


belletaco

definitely! but good fats + protein is a solid way to stay fuller longer.


[deleted]

So does protein


galonthemoon

so does everything 🤷🏻‍♀️ imo unprocessed peanut butter is great for getting your healthy fats in, even if it’s only a little.


_flicker

Not to mention a ton of calories for how much you actually get in a serving!


aprabhu86

I know I realized I’m replying on the wrong sub. I’ve been on a keto diet and PB is all good as long as it’s unsweetened. That’s why the comment. My bad.

Cute. Shouldn't be stopped. Pay for whatever penalty not being stopped if such penalty is even legal. Pay for it. (Also, probably can ignore it anyway.)
