Technically speaking, just how bad for you is peanut butter?

>> No.4797575

Not bad if you burn off the calories. Nuts are among the most nutritious of foods.

>on rustic wheat bread
I don't think so.

Well then you're talking about t he style/brand/ingredients/etc. right?

Let's see.

Buying a plastic jar of Skippy. Bad.
Buying a bag of peanuts and making your own butter. Good.

But it's also full of proteins, the fats in it are fairly good, there's carbohydrates...it's a very efficient food. If I was at a Walmart and it was the apocalypse, I'd go for the pizza pockets.

I keep trying to find peanut free peanut butter. Have an allergy thing, same with salt. Every now and then I'll find it

>> No.4797743

If your peanut butter doesn't start to separate in a day, it's bad for you.

It's high in fat and protein. Good for keeping full, but a costly source of protein. There are better alternatives, but this isn't the worst of spreads for you.

almond butter is nice, the natural food store lets you grind them right into a little plastic tub. Same with the peanut butter and they're both delicious. The peanut butter is way cheaper though.

>> No.4797759

I don't know why people always says peanut butter is "high in protein" ---- it's high in calories and fat, not in protein.
Sure, it's higher in protein than like fucking mustard or something...but shit, no one should be eating pb for the protein content

If it's from the store, and it doesn't say "natural," it's made with some peanuts and an assload of hydrogenated vegetable/soybean oil - trans fats, the worst motherfuckers for you on the planet. Go for the natural stuff - real peanut butter - or make your own.

hey, the peanut butter I ground myself hasn't separated this week. It might be the combination of bubbles, small bits and big chunks holding it in place.

>> No.4797818

Its fine OP. A little bit on your toast is not gonna fucking kill you. As long as you dont eat spoonfulls like a fatty you will be good. Stop being a fag and enjoy some delicious PB on toast. Drizzle some some honey on top of that and you will jizz rainbows.

>retarded are we?

A little oil helps making the peanut butter smoother and the sugar or you can use honey makes it taste better.

PB is lazy, though. It's one of the rare, if not only sources of a fatty acid you usually synthesize yourself.

They're not naturally found in peanuts, no, you retard. Peanut butter is just ground peanuts. You can flavor it with other things, but at that point it's not "natural peanut butter," it's modified, less healthy peanut butter

>> No.4797917

I got some massive thing of peanut butter as costco.

Ingredients: Peanuts, salt (45mg per 2 tablespoons)

>> No.4797927

It's not as black and white as that.

peanut butter is healthy in the sense that it's loaded with unsatured fats. But that doesn't mean you should be smearing globs and globs of peanut butter on everything. And I don't think a PB&J sandwich can ever be called health food

as for the people complaining about the ingredients... just buy another brand. The stuff I buy is literally nothing but peanuts and salt.

>> No.4797934

I'm always amazed peanut butter had to be invented. It's so simple. All it is is ground nuts. You'd think indians would have been making it for thousands of years, but I guess not. Maybe they used acorns or something similar.

Mayans DID make peanut butter for thousands of years. George Washington Carver didn't actually "invent" it, he just introduced it to the united states

Of course Carver didn't invent peanut butter. He wasn't even the first in the US to make it.

Carver 'inventing' peanut butter is simply a myth because his name is pretty much synonymous with peanuts so people assume he did.

Yes and now. What study shows are that you dont retain the calories you dont burn with nuts. For instance, eating almonds that are full of calories, wont make youfat by any way.

peanut butter is awesome, and good for you, if you buy the right kind. go to whole foods and get the ground peanut butter, or grind your own. It tastes better and is just peanuts. I eat a lot of it, because I'm trying to put on weight, and generally have a huge appetite. The fats keep me full.
