I can, no joke, put peanut butter on almost anything and love it 10x more.... seriously it makes my day everytime I taste it.
I've found that sometimes even just a peanut butter granola bar (chewy low fat...90 calories) will do the trick for the day... then other days i need my resses! :) |

I'm glad I don't really deal with any cravings but I do like PB. Sometimes on celery and sometimes on a sandwich but I ALWAYS have a TBSP to measure out the PB. I do the same thing for when I buy Nutella. Measuring cups and spoons are great. But I am now fully aware that most people can not be anal like me. I basically use measuring cups and spoons with every meal I prepare. The only time I ever had cravings was when I was a pot head. Shopping while high was a terrible idea but it was always a good time. But I never bought PB instead I'd buy ice creams w/ PB... |

I could really use a foodscale while making somethings but I've never gotten around to buying one. I hate when a recipe calls for ounces or grams of some grain. I just skip ahead when that happens. I can blame injuries, beer, and pot for my weight gain in college. Nothing like a couple car accidents and a heart problem to put your work outs on hold for a few years. I used to be terrified when I worked out. I had a seizure after running the 800 while I was a senior in high school. Turned out it was due to a heart problem that really wasn't that big of a problem if i would have just eaten right! I learned that lesson when I was a senior in college thats after going from 185 (4-7% body fat) w/ a sub 5 min mile to 260ish (30+% body fat) with a 15 min mile. One thing I never realized til I started to look at calories was how much weight gain could have come from just eating 2 PBnJ sandwiches with something on the side. |

| I just threw away 1/2 a jar of Jif because I can't have it in the house and eat it like a "normal" person would. Peanut butter is my one weakness. I could eat it straight from the jar with a spoon and I'm not talking about a bite or two. I could eat 1/2 the jar that way. I can't seem to control myself when it's in the house. | ||

| I eat PB everyday. I love it so much that I just made it a part of my diet. I have a whack of recipes that use PB. I buy the organic just peanuts kind and use it for a protien source. I eat 2 or 3 Tbsp a day. There is no way I will live without it, it is my favorite food of all. | ||

| And despite the fact that I eat that much, I still only weigh 133lbs, at 5 ft 7. Its all about management. | ||

someone mentioned pre-packaged peanut butter earlier. while it's a great concept, DO NOT (i repeat DO NOT!!!) buy the jif snack pack to go things. each one contains 1/4 cup of peanut butter, as well as 390 calories and 32 grams of fat! unless you plan to split this with someone, they contain two servings of peanut butter. i wouldn't call that portion control.
but speaking of peanut butter, i had a really good sanwich this morning for breakfast - a tbsp of pb, a tsp of honey, and some sliced banana on wheat bread. yum :) |
