Peanut Butter.
What do you guys think is an acceptable amount of peanut butter in a day? Some say it can make you constipated. Is this true? Also how many tablespoons do you guys eat on a daily basis?

there is some super protein PB out there... Can't remember the name of it for the life of me. If I can get my hands on some, I'll be eating PB on a more regular basis.. right now, I don't touch the stuff.

How is the taste of natty pb compared to skippy? I too am debating on getting natty pb because of the protein benefit.

Honestly, I didn't like it at first, but now I prefer it! The TRUE natty pb has nothing more in it than peanuts and maybe some salt...I believe the brand that I buy is Smuckers...anyway, be sure to read the labes b/c there are some brands that claim to be natty, but have added sugar, palm oil, etc..

If you're a big pb fan you should check out Anabolic Innovations Whey Protein ...and if you find some, let me know...lol

I like most of the other natty butters too - almond + sunflower particularly. I thought the sunflower would suck, but bought it to try and will buy again.

I eat 1-2 servings of sunflower kernels a day. Just personal preference to have them in whole form rather than butter form. I love them. They help with my cal intake and healthy fats.

I'm going into ketosis right now, so i'm back to reviewing all my food choices again and the nut butters are a nice "snack" choice, just off spoon.

Stay the hell away from non-Natural PB.

Its got hydrogenated vegetable oil and trans fats, while its considered a small amount, the less you take in the better.

That and lots of sugar! I'd suggest moving to natural almond butter as peanuts, even the natural PB kind, are not optimal.

Yes, but not the best choice of raw ingredients.

INGREDIENTS:
Roasted peanuts, sugar, partially hydrogenated vegetable oils (rapeseed, cottonseed and soybean) to prevent separation, salt.

2 tbsp ed of Teddie's All Natural unsalted peanut butter.
Contains 8g of protein per serving.

Ingredient list reads as follows:
Roasted Peanuts

I have used an elimination diet with this pb and noticed little to no change in digestion with or without it at this amount.

I love almond butter. Its a bit cost prohibitive for anything other than a change of pace.
