Natural vs. Regular Peanut butter

[rambo]

Sure "pal" i stated numerous times that trans fat was not an issue. The amount in normal peanut butter IS negligible. I stated this several posts up. I am referring to the fact that some peanut butters have up to 6 grams of sugar per TBSP. That's 12 grams of sugar. Not only is this sugar, but some brands contain High Fructose Corn Syrup, the worst type of sugar. Take a look at a label and read off to me the numerous amounts of crap that is piled in to normal peanut butter. Natural peanut butter has the following ingredients: Peanuts, Salt. So it's up to you- as I stated ALREADY in a previous post, it's fine to eat in a cheat day. But it's downright destructive for you to eat something when there is a suitable, more constructive alternative. Again, your choice, it won't make or break your diet, but it baffles me to see that you are pressing so hard to justify your use of it.

Well i dont know if you had a typo above, but according to your post you said that regular peanut butter has 20% more transfat. Also I indeed took a look at the label on some regular peanut butter and it's Peanuts, Sugar, Partially Hydrogenated Oil, and Salt. 3g of sugar per two tablespoons. As I also said above I mostly stick to nuts anyway as i like the more solid version of a nut. I actually only started this post to see what others thought about the negligable amounts of trans-fat and the 2g more of sugar. If i was to eat regular peanut butter it would only be around 1 tablespoon every few days just to change up a little bit from natural peanut butter, which i consume on a more regular basis anyway. I'll admit that I took some offense to you saying i had poor diet choices and this is why i kept pressing for more facts...just to keep a debate going. To me it doesnt really matter because in a few months im goin on a custom diet.

No problem, at one tablespoon every few days you won't notice a difference in the least. I assumed that by your frequency of use, it would be 2 tbsps a day, but at a rate such as you are planning, it really is no big deal.
