I LOVE PEANUTBUTTER - WHAT IS YOUR WEAKNESS?

I have been at goal for a few months so I experiment with new foods. Well i'm addicted to crunchy peanutbutter. I have at least two tablespoons a day and usually with a apple. I count it with my calories and I stay within my limit but I can't stop eating it whether it be for breakfast, or lunch or snack. It's a good fat and source of protein, high in calories but it feels like a treat for me esp if I throw a tablespoon of ff cool whip on it.

yummy I usually have golden delicious..will try Fuji!

I am hooked too! I eat a piece of celery with peanut butter and raisins for breakfast, if I have breakfast!

Sigh! I have soo many weaknesses...pnut butter is certainly one...lol.

"FROZEN" dark chocolate peanut M & Ms...my guilty pleasure!

Just letting you know there is a peanut butter powder PB2 that some health stores carry-none around me so I order online. You mix it with water, sugar free jelly if you want and can use it in a stir fry...yum. It doesn't have many calories and fat so you might want to look into it. It taste pretty good to me

Have you tried Gala apples? They're not always easy to find but oh my gosh they are SO good with Peanut Butter on them!

I actually love peanut butter, too. Too much. I had to stop snacking on it because I was eating way too much. I think it's a "trigger" food for me.

Mis I'm thinking maybe trigger food for me also, I keep telling myself since I count it daily its ok but you make a good point...I'm going to look into that powder might not make me feel so guilty.

I love peanut butter too. I use creamy on my fugi apples but have PB2 and put it in yogurt and in my protein drinks also sprinkle it on 1/2 sliced bannan. a real treat.

If you make it fit into your daily calories, I honestly don't see a problem. You obviously are able to control yourself.

I, on the other hand, realized I was "oh just one more spoonful" until I was over my daily calories. Repeatedly. It is just too dangerous of a snack for me because I apparently lack the self control to stop at just a spoonful.

Ahhh I love PB2 in my Protein shakes. :D

I love sweets! They are my weakness! Peanut butter, I like, but it's not my fave. I use it sometimes, in a protein shake, but more often, I use the PB2 powder since it's less calories to use up. There is also a chocolate PB2 powder also. I am not much of a fan of it, by itself (after mixing it with water), but if definitely gives you that peanut butter fix when mixed it anything, like shakes, ice cream, cool whip, etc.....

If anyone has a Kroger around them, I found that they carry it now (organic food area) the other day and this was at one of the smaller Kroger, not the super one. Almond butter and sugar free fudgsicles are my weakness :)
