I wouldn't if it's going to take you past your fat intake for the day. I eat peanut butter while cutting but I have it figure into my diet. The natural ones are high in cals, no sugar, and some have almost no carbs and the fats are very good for you. JMO

the smuckers natural creamy peanut butter has

serving 2 tsp
total fat 16 grams
sat fat 2 grams
cholest 0 grams
sodium 120 grams
total carbs 7grams
fiber 2 grams
sugars 2 grams
protein 7 grams
no trans fats

Its kinda high in carbs and sodium and has some sugar.

It says all natural on the jar but it has sat fat, i though the all natural jars dont have that type of fat in it?

I cant find any natural peanut butter besised smuckers and maple groove at the supermarket.

Smucker's isn't too bad but I wouldn't use it. Get Crazy Richard's Natural Peanut Butter it has no sodium, no sugar, and a few carbs like around 4. Sure it will have some saturated fat it's coming from the same source a peanut, but don't worry too much about it.

Your diet plan should tell you if its ok to eat PB

[BIG TEXAN]

Exactly I wouldn't avoid eating pb. When dieting, especially if you cut your carbs you'll need your fats and natty pb is a good source. Look at your diet and see if there's room for it.

[Feli Fly]

You should avoid excess calories and low GI carbs (except post workout). PB is fine: good fats and some protein too.

However, I do have to avoid PB when I am dieting, but that's simply because I love it and would eat a lot of it if it were in the house.

there was a recent study on peanut butter that showed no benefits of health food natural peanut butter vs store bought stuff...

i enjoy my Reese's peanut butter yummy

That's because the people who did that study weren't bodybuilders who were consciencious enough to know that they should avoid processed sugars. The crap in non natural peanut butter is equivalent to what you would find in a reeses peanut butter cup.

Yes.... that is the difference...... I don't want the surgar or other processed crap in the other types of PB that will spike my insulin levels.

Of course it doesn't matter if you are like me, and find the need to devour an entire jar in 2 days
