EAT THIS Skippy Creamy Peanut Butter

WHY If you're looking for the great taste of peanut butter without as much fat, you're missing the point by a mile. Sure, peanut butter is a good source of protein, but so is cottage cheese. Other than that, all peanut butter is good for is its fat — the healthy monounsaturated type (it's more likely to be burned and less likely to be stored as bodyfat).

Removing 25% of that fat makes peanut butter worthless, particularly because that fat is generally replaced with gut-busting carbs, more than twice the amount in regular peanut butter.

natural is what the wife eats, never thought there was a big difference between low fat and regualr peanutbutter

Looks like it's just a choice between fat or carbs.

Looking at those numbers, it doesn't really seem to matter which one you choose.

I'll take the fat over the carbs any day.

The natural stuff (with the floater of oil on the top when you buy it) good fats. Good for your joints.

Yea, I've tried this too and it's good, just hard to find around here and when you do is so damn expensive and I go through peanut butter so fast it's hard to justify, but that's just me

yes that stuff! Is that oil layer is such a pain in the fucking ass, i wind up always getting oil all over the outside of the jar! Half the time i wait til the wife cracks it open and mixes it wrell before i touch it, then after she does the work, i eat the whole thing and she gets pissied off, so she now buys her own that im not aloud to touch,lol

and what with the joints deal?

I like reduced fat, since I throw it in my protein shake everyday, otherwise I see bodyfat gains pretty rapidly.

My friend is the same way, I've never had any problems with bodyfat related to peanut butter, but I've seen others that say the same thing
