peanut butter

[Chub]

So i'm bulking at the moment and eating 100g of natty peanut butter a day. Just curious to how much natty peanut butter others eat while bulking!

 

[v1hyp]

About 2-3 tbsp a day.

 

[tribaltek]

I clear a tub of "Naturally More" PB a week.

How big is the tub? Only natty peanut butter i can get comes in a kg tub

 

[KgTomCat]

I go through a jar a week too! I love Smuckers All Natty PB

You can of course eat more pb than that. I know a guy who competes ( he won the welterweight class at the North Americans this year), and he eats 12 tablespoons a day. After speaking with him, he says he takes no digestive aids etc... Granted, if I were going to eat that much, I would make sure I stayed regular. Seems like it would be hard to not stay constipated on that much pb, but he claims that isn't the case. Here are some links to his pics. Not a huge guy, but built well none the less...

3-4 tbsp a day. I should probably eat more because PB is cheap.

I too eat about 3-4, simply because I am afraid of getting backed up lol!

 

[KgTomCat]

Ive never had any digestive problems from PB

 

[ffmedic32]

I still am using good ol JIF for my PB. Should I really make a switch over to natty.

 

[Rugger]

Only digestive problems I have from, is soft stool. And that isn't very often.

I eat Skippy's natty PB, and I can't tell the difference, other than the label of course. Natty is definitely worth it.

 

[KgTomCat]

NATTY all the way!!! that hydrolyzed vegetable oil will kill you lol

 

[pinchharmonic]

I go through a jar a week too! I love Smuckers All Natty PB

ya smuckers is surprisingly one of the best.

you can pour off the oil on top and you are left with a tad less fatty, higher protein paste that actually tastes awesome itself.

oh, 1 tablespoon with 3 of my 6 daily meals is how much i like to eat!

 

[Aggravated]

It's weird now that I like the crunchy pb, whenever i try to eat the creamy it just doesn't do it for me.

 

[HPF750]

I love peanut butter, its delicious.

 

[kingin23]

i put peanut butter in my protien shake all the time love it!!

 

[Manimalia]

I'm off PB, as painful as it can be at times. I find that chewin' some walnuts and flax seed together are not only better fat sources (omega 3, not 6), but also complement/complete each other protein-wise nicely. BUT DAMN DO I MISS PB!!!!!!!!!! SMUCKERS NATURAL CRUNCHY WITH SPLENDA ALL UP IN IT FTW FTW FTW FTW.

Peanut Butter Is The Rocks!!!!!!

correct!..but if you are on a p.h cycle what happens is your good cholesterol level drops while your bad cholesterol level spikes,so we need the e.f.a's(essential fatty acids) that are found in raw nuts or p.b!..to raise are good cholesterol levels.and also do to the liphiophilic(hope i spelled that right) nature of some of the p.h compounds that we use.p.b(or a good source of e.f.a's) is recommended.

 

[suncloud]

4 tbsp per day here.

 

[ffmedic32]

I decided to make another try at natty. Took some advice and bought Skippy Natty,,,WOW this stuff is awesome. No more JIF for me

You can always switch it up with some Coconut Oil. I swear by the stuff, unrefined preferably. I truly think it gives me more energy, and who can argue with a rock hard pecker every morning :nono:

PS Cashew butter is heavenly !

wait so if ppl on a P.H cycle then eating too much PB is bad?

 

[bslick69b]

i would say 10gm of(peanuts/sunflower seeds/or what ever nuts you like!) nut's or 2-3 or even 4 tbsp. of p.b a day should be ok! or like steve-o said"coconut oil"is fine also!

 

[Aggravated]

Almond butter is awesome as well!

u mean 10MG? or gm.
if i'm not on a P.H cycle(which i'm sorta not sure what it is), about 10mg is ok to eat daily?

im sorry!..10 grams.of fat!(e.f.a)...and as far as on cycle its recommended,but for off cycle it is a good source of protien! and i heard of people going through a tub of peanut butter a week!on or off cycle!it also helps with the absorption of the supps.that is being taken.

I second that!!

 

[KgTomCat]

are we really questioning if too much All-Natty PB is bad for you?:think:
but we'll put di-methylated prohormones in our body without much question? I dont wanna hear "as long as you have a good PCT" check the scales my friends lol

 

[Chub]

I got a funny look when i bought 3kg of natty peanut butter today

 

[elabor]

I too eat about 3-4, simply because I am afraid of getting backed up lol!

PB won't back you up. Its got a few grams of fiber and plenty of oil and protein. It gets broken down when digested, into particles, so its nothing like it is going in when its coming out. I like to combine mine with double protein wheat bread, which uses extra gluten to get to 7g a slice, to get a more complete protein. Gluten is what gives pizza crust its chew.izza:

 

[planetfuzz]

I wish I could just sit down and eat an entire jar of peanut butter. I use Krema peanut butter. Cheaper than smuckers and the ingredients are: roasted peanuts.

I am eating about 4 tbsp's a day.

 

[KgTomCat]

Krema, from Kroger? I buy that too

 

[planetfuzz]

Krema, from Kroger? I buy that too

Yup. When I first started eating it it tasted bland. Now I love it.

 

[KgTomCat]

do you out it in the frig? I didnt for a while and it was always really runny, if you put it in the frig, it stays perfect!

 

[v1hyp]

I mix it in my two shakes,, up to 4 Tbsp a day now

 

[Chub]

i weigh out 200g everyday and stick it in a tub. after every meal i'll take a few spoonfuls

Extra 1150 cals a day right there

 

[HEARTLESS]

PB is one of my favorite ways to grab extra cals throughout the day.. up to 8-12 tsp a day right now.. 2 slice whole wheat, tsp pb, and 2 tsp honey makes for a nice snack

 

[v1hyp]

Up my use,, going thru a jar in like 3-4 days now,, 4-6 tbsp a day,,

 

[bigzach1234]

what are the benefits of coconut oil.. every time im at the store i think about buying it but cant figure out what would be the difference between that and just getting some flax oil/fish oils? a rock hard pecker does sound good, but i mean nutrional benefits vs flax/fish oils

 

[huskie]

For me PB is my main source of protein every day. Apx 6 to 8tbsp

It's not a replacement for fish oils- you should still take 8-10 cap/day (3g EPA & DHA combined). But coconut oil is just another way to get in your fats that is very healthy; it helps boosts metabolism and thyroid, and may be linked to increase T levels. http://www.google.ca/search?hl=en&q=Coconut+Oil+Benefits&btnG=Google+Search&meta=

Poor choice as a primary protein source.

It has a poor AA ratio and would need to be supplemented/combined to become a "complete" source.

Also not the best source of fat as it doesn't contain EFA's.

Quick question - does anyone know if PB spikes blood sugar levels?

Incomplete proteins are much more complete than everyone has been led to believe.

Much more importantly, 6-8 tablespoons is only around 30g of protein. Not much for a "main source".

depends on how much sugar is in it, and the level of sugar already in your blood
