I eat this a lot too- but it does help me loose because it keeps me full. Must remind myself to be more accountable when weighing/measuring ;-)

I did this the other day- actually used a measuring spoon to measure out peanut butter for my toast and I was horrified.. I have been using 2-3 times the amount I thought I was so 2-3 times the calories! I was so shocked I'm going to have to seriously consider whether having peanut butter is worth it cos tbh I don't think I'd want my toast with just 1 real tblsps worth..

I think I do the same thing (underestimating portion size) with Nutella...

This may sound completely silly, but am I the only one that purposely would underestimate peanut butter? :p hahahahahaha how embarassing. I mean I KNEW it was over a tablespoon when I ate it! :p

LOL everyone is so funny with peanut butter!

One thing I've been doing is mixing peanut butter with PB2 in my smoothies. I get more for less calories that way but still get the good fats from the peanut butter.

It might work in other ways too :)

What is PB2? I see it mentioned on here a lot but I have no clue what it is. I assume it's some sort of American lower calorie peanut butter? I've never seen it in the UK anyway.

It's powdered peanut butter that is a lot less calories than peanut butter :)

I generally buy mine off amazon as there aren't any stores near me that carry it.

Does PB2 taste as good or almost as good as real peanut butter? I'm OBSESSED with peanut butter and I think the extra cals are really hindering me at this point. Can you spread PB2?

OMGGGGGG POWDERED PEANUT BUTTER!?!?!?!? *faints*...

I litterally just cried a tear of joy. hahahaha thank you!!!

You mix it with water to get it to the consistency of peanut butter. I haven't really used it other than in my protein shakes, but makes them taste nice and peanut buttery.

The chocolate PB2 I mix up and eat off a spoon. It tastes like a peanut butter cup. :D

I bought PB2 from Amazon too. Frankly, it's saved my life as I adore peanut butter but haven't indulged due to how high calorie it is when I eat as much as I want. :)

I love peanut butter! It's dangerous! :P

I didn't know about PB2 until now. It looks like Trader Joe's sells something similar called Peanut Flour - I might have to pick some up and try it out! Cool idea!!

sontaikle 05-08-2012 03:56 AM

I just ordered some more PB2 myself. I actually have an unopened package, but I had to order other things and wanted to get the free shipping.

I also picked up some PB2 thins. I tried them a while back and they're really good! :D

Isn't peanut flour for baking? If it's totally like PB2 where it turns into peanut butter I'll have to try it though :)

*sigh* Glad I'm not the only person who could darn near drown themselves in PB. I love the darn stuff... especially crunchy! So, that is why for as long as I can remember, whether I was low carbing and now while doing low calorie, I have always used either a real tablespoon measuring spoon, or a long handled teaspoon. It's the only way I can control the portion!

caramelkitty 05-08-2012 08:38 PM

No one probably cares, but I just was reading the comments on here, and took a "tablespoon" of peanut butter. And it was great. LOL

I usually leave myself an extra 200 calories at the end of the day in case I get a stupid craving. Like this one. lol


My fiance gives me the dirtiest look when I eat it though, he thinks its nasty. lol
