Peanuts/organic PB ok as source of fat?

**swedes** · 04-22-2005, 12:00 AM

I was just wondering-some of my daily fat is from peanuts or organic/natural Peanut butter. I have lots of flax as well but I was just wondering. Is it ok.
What are the downsides if any.
Thanx

both are good fats but be careful if you are trying to cut because both are extremly calorie dense

thanks guys-I was wondering bc my gf said she saw on TV there was something bad in peanuts-it seems bodybuilders prefer cashews-I wonder why.

i think cashews are lower in carbs or somthing tlike that i know almonds are but low salted peanuts are great but its hard not to just eat a little same with the all natural peanut nutter.
