    Is natty pb bad when cutting?

    I can't afford lean steaks every day so I was wondering if using 1 or 2 tbs of peanut butter with 4 of my boneless chicken meals is ok?

    to me, yes.

    of course it depends totally on your entire diet, how many pro/fat meals you are having each day ect. but i think if you are going to incorporate pro/fat meals into your diet it is a good idea to use a variant of fat sources. flax oil, olive oil, almonds, natty pb...

    I really try to limit any kind of peanut butter, whether its natural or organic. Sure it has healthy fats but it has tons of calories and it is easy to consume too much of it because it tastes so good, 2 TBS has like 17g of fat...and 2 TBS is not very much its easy to go overboard with it so I just stay away from it. My fat intake comes naturally from the protein sources I eat.

    Remember even chicken has animal fats in it.. usually like 5grams per 8oz or so. Also you can get lean ground beef or lean ground turkey for cheap.
    Alot of fat isn't needed while cutting so I wouldn't supplement with it and you should only need steak a few times/wk.

    Better choice of fats would be flax oil with O mega 3,6,+9. or olive oil.
