I love me some peanut butter, I probably eat about 1/2 a cup or more a day, and not the natty kind either, straight up walmart brand butter...

I usually run a year round recomp style training and diet routine, about 300-500 calories over maintenance and a good bit of cardio...

Do you guys think that this much PB is hurting my training or is the protien and omegas worth the fat and carbs?

[SilentBob187]

If it's one of your only sources of fat in your diet you're probably alright. I'm not really familiar with the profile of PB that's not natural so I dunno.

[Timmo]

Everyone responds to things differently. I would think that it would depend too on how many carbs you were eating, if you were eating a high amount of fats and a high amount of carbs it would make you gain body fat pretty fast. I would definately switch over to natural PB though, that walmart peanut butter is probably packed full of hydrogenated oil and sugar.

about 32g fat, 16g protien, and 14g carbs (4 of which are fiber)

What's the breakdown of the fats? saturated, poly/monounsaturated?

[ozarkaBRAND]

If it was me, I'd go natty.

If you're going natty whouldn't you want to add stevia?

[Ole Skl]

good call on the stevia... the only problem with the natty PB is that I havent been able to find it in large enough containers, the way I eat it id go through 3 jars a week whereas with the bootleg stuff I can buy it by the 6lb'ers

[rolandajoint]

skippy natty pb is the best. as smooth and creamy as the junk one, but healthy as the organic ones. anytime i see it for 2/$5, i grab like 8. that and a banana with some whey = orgasm. no homo.

[planetfuzz]

Private Selection Organic is awesome. Right now I'm eating Krema. It has nothing but peanuts in it. Pretty bland but I dip apples in it. Mmmmm

[The Anarchist]

I have myself 2 peanut butter sandwiches (wheat) a day, the organic chunky kind from Wal-Mart, once for breakfast and once in the afternoon

[Ole Skl]

you cannot beat PB and banana on toasted wheat... its soo good it should be cheat food

[KgTomCat]

I go all-natty, but if the rest of ur diet is pretty clean, i suppose u could throw the junk in there...its up to u. My favorite is PB, chocolate whey, oatmeal...
