Tara, I have a horrible peanut butter addiction. I've used natural peanut butter for the last 25 years, so it's not sugar cravings, and over 50% of my calories come from protein so it sure isn't a need for more protein! For me, it's a trigger food, plain and simple. It's always in the fridge because my son and husband eat it in moderation, but I have to treat it like a drug. I get my daily measured dose
Otherwise, I'd just eat the entire jar with a spoon, then go stir up another one.
My only suggestion is measure it out, the CLOSE THE JAR and put it away! Put other stuff in front of it in the fridge.
How do they make natural peanut butter with half the calories? If a lot of the oil is taken out, it would be peanut butter briquettes.
Edited later:
Ick. I found it.
