I've read in a bunch of places, that eating all 3, (pro / carb / fat) in 1 meal promotes storing of fat in the body. So basically, meals are either Pro/Fat or Pro/Carb.

now what happens in with foods like peanut butter, which looks something like 8g/16g/8g of pro/fat/carb. Should peanut butter be avoided? Or is there exceptions of some sort im not catching?
 
hmmm, my peanut butter is 14g fat, 9g prot, and 6g of carbs, 3g of which are fiber.

thus, PB is a fat, with some protein and fiber, with negligible 'impact carbs'.
 
well, i usually have the regular natural PB, but i recently tried this out



and i must say it is divine. Just wondering if i should switch back to the regular creamy.
 
ahh, yours is "with honey", hence the added sugar/carbs.
and creamy, where as mine is chunky (which I failed to mention) and undoubtedly has a few more whole nuts/skins contributing to the fiber content.

I would still call yours a fat, which happens to have some protein, and a bit of fiber & carbs.
 
Yeah i figured 7 impact carbs wasnt horrible. Its hard to keep em seperated completely though.

and if you havent tried the kind with honey yet, i strongly suggest it. It isnt overly sweet at all, its just right.
 
i get something called Real 100% peanut butter. the ingredients are: peanuts, salt...and its only a smidge of salt.
its next to the butter in the cold section/dairy case here locally. you gotta mix it up when you first open it cuz all the natural oil separates to the top. but then it'll stay mixed.

i think it tastes great. sweet enough for my taste buds at least.
 
Peanut butter is pretty calorically dense. I tell my new clients who have no discipline in the nutrition game to have at it (most of them are looking to bulk up anyway).
Your meals should consist of either protein/fat with minimal carb OR protein/carb with minimal fat (like you probably read). Peanut butter (without the honey) does best in a protein and fat meal....so don't spread the stuff on bread or crackers. However, if you are..... do so in the morning.....you will most likely get away with adding PB to a morning meal.

If you could though....switch to the more natural stuff....preferrably almond butter. Peanuts aren't exactly the best choice for anything.
