it would be the best food if it didn't have such heavy calories
Nathaniel Lee
That is the best part about it. I dont even get how skellies can whine about not getting enough kcal. If you are missing 500kcal from your daily intake just eat a spoonfull of peanutbutter
Logan Brown
Because its just a ground up nut.
You could do the same with any nut. Or hell, any healthy food.
The real magic of PB is its consistency. It prevents bacterium growth and basically cant go off.
Jordan Reyes
Currently doing my first bulk to help escape dyle mode. I use 24 oz of whole milk, 2 scoops of pic related, 1/4 cup of peanuts, a few tbs of peanut butter and a tray of ice.
Samuel Baker
it's obviously great for bulking but horrible if you're cutting which what i was referring to
Eli Miller
Yeah nuts are amazing. Raw are even better but harder to consume much.
Parker Bailey
A spoonful should be around 100 kcal, but as an ex-fatty a few spoonfuls is easily doable.
Cameron Mitchell
Stop using a tea spoon
I can get 70g on a spoon easily which is 400kcal
Aaron Jackson
New to lifting, can someone explain why is fat so important? Popular belief says it should be avoided
Jaxson Lopez
Did you read the sticky?
Gavin Torres
popular belief is often bullshit, especially when it comes to fitness. this being said, I'm extremely noobish when it comes to nutrition and I would like an explanation of this as well. I wouldn't want to spout wrong factoids all over the place.
Julian Walker
This
But to be helpful it's basically because your body does need fat to survive (organs, warmth), so having no fat in your diet and on your body will lead to dying. 'Popular belief' says that you're already fat enough so don't need any more, but the truth is that any calorie excess will lead to fat gain. Fats have more calories per gram so cutting out all fat is a cheat way to cut out a shitload of calories. Most people then replace that with just-as-bad-for-you carbs which doesn't really solve anything at all.
its got a bit more PUFA than i'd prefer but w/e could be worse as long as you're watching vegetable oils in the rest of your diet you're golden
Cameron White
Eating 100 calories of fat or 100 calories of carbohydrates is the exact same thing when you're eating over your daily limit
Diet is simple; hit your micro nutrient requirements, then hit your kcal requirements with fats and carbohydrates.
You shouldnt avoid all fats either since your body cant produce all types of fat, and some are necessary to live.
Jeremiah Myers
I cut on 3200kcal and have no appetite ever. You're simply not big enough (not an insult, just an observation)
Henry Thomas
Healthy fats are good. The kind you find in nuts and avocados and and good meats and stuff. Your body needs those to do a lot of important stuff, among them synthesizing the protein you eat into gains.
The only reason that people were ever scared of fat is because of a slew of slanted studies in the early 90s sponsored by the sugar industry. I'm not shitting you, it was a legit conspiracy. It is true that a gram of fat has more kcals than a gram of protein, but you still need it, it's as simple as counting the kcals and budgeting it into your diet.
Alexander Watson
Yurofag here, never tried peanut butter b4 and this thread prompted me to go buy some. Was pretty hard to find but I got a 340g jar (biggest they had) and this stuff is pretty good. Taste a lot more like peanuts than I anticipated. Also a lot easier to stomach than the chocolate hazelnut spreads I'm used to.
Thank you for reading my blog post.
Blake Thomas
>Taste a lot more like peanuts than I anticipated. dude what
Brandon Campbell
most nuts are pretty good for you, peanut butter is just the most popularized easy to eat form of nuts. youd say the same thing about almond butter if that was the popularized one
Joshua Hall
Years of nutella senpai, I was expecting something a lot sweeter. Not that I am disappointed
Thomas Green
>polyunsaturates: 14.3g
Brandon Ortiz
as another eurofag buy it off amazon. you can get a 1kg tub for under 10 eur
Brayden Evans
This is complete nonsense, diatery fat doesnt convert to bodyfat like that because eating fat doesnt spike insulin. If you eat carbs you spike insulin and anything excess calories converts to bodyfat
Samuel Adams
nutella and real peanut butter are not even comparable. nutella has zero nutritional substance and is nothing but sugar. real peanut butter shouldn't be sweet and has nutritional value. i dont understand why you're even bringing up nutella, you may as well have brought up spreadable butter as comparison- hell the butter is probably a better comparison >nutella memed faggot I hate your kind
Colton Sanders
Jeez senpai did your dad piss in your peanut butter this morning?
Nolan Ortiz
Successfully mixing natural peanut butter, getting the dry bits from the bottom and getting a natural consistency, whilst also not spilling the oil, is the final test of strength, dexterity, and manliness.
James Turner
? what
Dietary fat is already structurally fat so it doesn't NEED insulin to be stored.
having carbs --> insulin spike while having any large amount of fats with that then it is guaranteed fat storage.
this is why we generally keep fats low to minimum especially on a high carb diet (ex refeed)
fats are still fat at the end of the day, to a certain extent.
Carson Clark
Fats help boost testosterone levels
Daniel Jackson
This user is essentially correct. Any kcal excess will lead to adding fat, but there is a bit more to it than that. Fat can be stored without conversion. 1g of excess fat is 1g of stored fat. Carbs lose approximately 30% of its energy converting into fat to be stored. Excess protein loses even more than that, as it needs to convert to glycogen before it can then convert to storable energy.
Bentley Thompson
Yeah but eating just fat is better than eating just carbs for fat loss with same calories because fat doesnt spike insulin
Isaac Anderson
Just get over it Veeky Forums. Peanut butter is never going to be healthy.
but muh healthy fats but muh peudoscience
John Murphy
>Popular belief >Listening to momscience from the 1950s
Gavin Long
estrogen vegan diet is better
Daniel James
peanut butter is only unhealthy when you eat shit like jiff and skippy that adds partially hydrogenated oils (for dat anal leakage and texture consistency) and excessive sugar. >thinking shitty processed peanut butter is the only one that exists not very well versed in diet and food, are you?
Landon Myers
no, my fathers body was found mostly decomposed in a sleeping bag on a mountain after the snow started to melt back around 2000
Zachary Ortiz
There is no such thing as unprocessed peanut butter.
Lucas Mitchell
> the final test of strength, dexterity, and manliness. lol more like the final test of how stupid you are and how long it takes you to figure out that youre supposed to store it upside down
Ian Parker
This. The ingredients list on the jar for peanut butter should read: Peanuts, Salt. That's it.
Noah Diaz
You may actually be retarded. Try looking at the label once in a while.
Thomas Butler
ok then, let me re-phrase: shitty, additive laden, over-processed peanut butter.
Alexander Clark
you know I could say the exact same thing to you. have you read label? do you think that ALL peanut butter ODs on the additives? because it doesn't. there's places you can go and you can pour the peanuts in yourself and have it come straight into a fresh little tub. do you live in the south or something where the only place to buy food is wal mart?
Tyler Young
>t. idiot who hasn't heard of natural peanut butter, and is for the destruction of forests for palm oil
Benjamin Garcia
Oh boy the evil palm oil meme.
Oliver Flores
full of oils and that fat/protein ratio is garbage
full of what oils? if you get jiff, its going to be partially hydrogenated oils that are bad for you, if its naturally peanut butter than you have nothing to worry about. >thinks all fats are the same have you even been reading this thread?
Isaac Morgan
This has nothing to do with palm oil.
Justin Watson
>Not making homemade peanut butter out of peanuts, salt and honey
Brayden Powell
to make partially hydrogenated oil, you need to start off with an oil. a VERY popular oil to do with this is palm oil because its cheap and readily available
Michael Fisher
They aren't nuts you retards, they're legumes.
Juan Murphy
ajcn.nutrition.org/content/84/1/54 Conclusion: Palm and partially hydrogenated soybean oils, compared with soybean and canola oils, adversely altered the lipoprotein profile in moderately hyperlipidemic subjects without significantly affecting HDL intravascular processing markers. palm oil in itself isn't exactly good for you either
Jose Flores
I have never heard of partially hydrogenated palm oil.
Jonathan Foster
>a spoon
Skelly here, I eat a couple of green apples, each slice with a spoon of peanut butter. The combination is amazing, and its a thousand calorie breakfast. Still can't make myself eat lunch.
Jeremiah Collins
we weren't arguing that they were nuts you idiot, we were arguing over their nutritional value
Angel Flores
Palm oil is mostly saturated. No shit it raises cholesterol.
Daniel Rogers
cool
Connor King
first, you probably dont read many labels. second, they dont have to say what type of PHO it is, just that its a PHO
Justin Reyes
What are the "natural" peanut butter brands Veeky Forums buys? I assume it's not Jiffy or Peter Pan.
William Wood
tell that to they seem to think palm oil is perfectly healthy and anything bad about it is an "evil meme"
Gavin Roberts
dont trust names, just read the ingredient label. there shouldn't be anything besides peanuts and salt- maybe a bit of honey or something if you're into that
Xavier Brown
It will also include stabilizers, else it turns into water at the top, dry at the bottom, sticky paste in the middle.
Joshua Lee
i dont think u understan what hydrogenation is or why it use
Julian Bennett
no, thats exactly what you DONT want. PHO is what they add as a stabilizer. peanut butter is supposed to separate, just because it makes life difficult for you doesn't mean its bad. and if you store said natural peanut butter upside down, you dont have to worry about the hard chunks settling at the bottom. let me again re-direct you to the information that has already been sourced on this subject, but that you apparently can't read seriously, a simple google search would inform you ffs
Juan Cooper
wow trans fat is bad??? you are a the next einstein or something
Isaiah Hall
doesn't matter what you were arguing, it's still false
Easton Smith
Is that powdered peanut butter stuff a meme or is it actually decent?
Gavin Wright
Sources on this conspiracy thing?
Easton Adams
>godly >Just all fat
Not even saying fat is bad but you're retarded if you're eating 100g pb. Your fats shouldn't be over 30% of your calories. If they are, you're doing it horribly wrong.
Nicholas Sanchez
Is he ok?
Hudson Barnes
It should be 100% peanuts you fucking casual.
Henry Morris
Tfw I want some so bad but I break out like crazy when I eat it
Jason Wood
Can anybody redpill me on these? They are dirt cheap at my local supermarket (less than $1). Where's the catch?
Dominic Sullivan
Just looked it up. 12 € two fucking kg. >mfw on a cut Winter is going to be fun.
