I think this is the key right here...if you don't eat alot of something, then I'd say natural is always better and the fat/calories aren't as important. Me, I love natural PB and love knowing that it's JUST peanuts.....so I just eat a tbsp or two when it works with my plan...If I can't fit the 100-200 calories in, I save it for another day

Right, which is why I don't worry about it. Would you dip a peanut into waxy saturated fat before popping it in your mouth? I sure as heck wouldn't.

I'm somewhat of a calorie snob and watch them carefully, but when it comes to loading my arteries with unhealthy fats, I'll deal with the extra cals to avoid doing that.

Simply Natural. Less fat + calories with all natural ingredients (peanuts,flax,wheat germ,egg whites,honey). Good stuff.
