    replaced peanut butter by avocado. i definitely dont regret it.

    (cutting on keto)

    Peanut butter taste so damn good and is very hard to dose accurately (that shit is 100 cal per 15g serving), i suspected i always ate too much and felt very bad about putting the jar back in the fridge everytime because i wanted MOARRR. so i just replaced my 30g peanut butter serving by an avocado and damn, thats a good trade! i feel fuller and i get less carbs and am no longer tempted to take another spoonful

    1 avocado (130g)

    200 cal

    20g fat
    11g carbs (9 fiber) so basically 2-3g net carb
    3g protein


    30g peanut butter:

    200 cal

    14g fat
    8g carbs (2 fiber) 6g net carb
    6g protein

    Love avocado! Good choice, better nutritional profile, and just all around awesome. I'm biased, though.

    Good choice!

    Another way is to actually drink your EFAs (no one wants another Tbsp of Almond oil

    Both have decent fat profiles, but as you said, PB is WAY too easy to overeat. Avacado is a great choice, but some of us like it a lot too and could potentially overeat it as well!

    As D7M said, nobody OD's on fish oil!

    Yep... but at least you weigh it! Most people eyeball a tbsp; try eyeballing a tbsp of PB and then actually weigh it - I guarantee it'll be way over.
