Sport PB2 - Anyone Using This "Peanut Butter" ?

Sport Fitness
Making the comparison per 2 tablespoons:

Peanut Wonder:
100 calories
2.5g fat
13g carb
4g protein

Regular peanut butter:
190 calories
16g fat
6g carb
8g protein
 
yeah, lot's of carbs compared to regular...is your comparison with a natural PB or regular jif/skippy kind of thing? I am a little surprised at the protein difference.

Has anyone ever found info on the EFA's content in the natural PB? I guess I'd go that route if I was getting something out of it. I don't really use it that often anyway...mainly use it as a treat and I feel like I'm cheating.

thanks for the info!

It is whatever nutritiondata.com has (which does not exactly say). The Jif and Skippy web sites do list nutrition data for their peanut butters, which are similar to what nutritiondata.com has, but have 7g of carbohydrates (probably reflecting added sugar).

The very best natural peanut butter is by Smuckers.

From what I've seen at the groceries is that reduced fat peanut butter and reduced calories peanut butters typically have added ingredients that make it worst than if they just left it alone.

For example, reduced fat peanut butter has all kinds of added ingredients and while adding to the calories total and keeping the saturated fat nearly the same (so all good fat is gone).
 
Smuckers is my favorite. I actually started eating it before I was watching what I ate. The ingredients list appealed to me.

Ingredients: Peanuts, Salt.

Gotta love that.

That nutrition data website is pretty nice...don't know how I've missed it until now. Some interesting and unique data on there. I especially like the glycemic load chart they have for particular foods. Very helpful

Thanks!
 
Low Calorie PB Option Here

There is a low calorie PB out there, called PB2. Just go to bellplantation.com and check it out. It has 54 calories for 2 tablespoons - the lowest calorie option out there that I can find.

In return for my suggestion, could you vote for my new product idea on the site?

I am trying to win a contest on bellplantation.com to get a new product idea in the marketplace - a low calorie nutella.

Currently, the company makes PB2, a low calorie peanut butter alternative. However, I would love it if they would also make a low calorie nutella product.

Check out bellplantation.com and VOTE for LAUREN K's idea.

All you have to do is go to bellplantation.com and scroll down and on the right will be a big VOTE NOW button.

Click it and vote for LAUREN - a chocolate peanut mix - like nutella. It is the 4th idea down from the top!

You then scroll all the way to the bottom and click vote. You can then see the results.

YOU CAN VOTE ONCE PER DAY per COMPUTER. So if you have more than one computer, you can vote more than once PER DAY!

Thanks. Any help would be great. I am in second place and would love to hit first so that maybe, soon, a low calorie nutella product can be on the market!

Check it out - you will love the PB2 product!
