My fitness trainer just told me I can't have as much peanut butter as I do now if I want to lose weight. I hate that I can't because I'm very attached to PB in my daily diet and want to still have 2 tbsp without having to think that much. He then suggested PB powder which has half the calories. Have any of you tried it? Is it as good or at least close to being almost as good?

It's definitely not as good but when you add it in smoothies or mix it in with other ingredients you taste the peanut for sure. It's not as oily and 'buttery' so if that's what you love about PB, then you won't find any similarities.

Agreed, the powder is great if you’re using it in anything—think protein shakes, smoothies, baking, oatmeal… but it’s not going to scratch that itch if you use it as a dip.

I had to adjust my perception of PB being a protein to it being a fat: however, there is room for healthy fats at the EOD and that’s when it helps me stay out of Dumpster-dive mode when I want to nosh of anything in the cupboards.

I'm confused, how are 2 tablespoons, 186 in calories and high in (hopefully) healthy fat, keeping you from weight loss exactly?

Are you plateauing or not losing the weight?

Your body isn't an Excel sheet, though, so 2 spoonfuls aren't going to kill it. But you can always substitute things elsewhere in your diet.

I love PB Fit so much, it's honestly amazing. But I think your trainer is not very adaptable if he's honestly suggesting that you can't find a way to fit 2 TBSP of peanut butter into your daily diet. It just means you have to fit those calories into your calorie count. I'm of the mind that successful diets allow people to eat their favorite foods

Is it? That's so good to know. I just ordered my first-ever PB fit and it's coming in tomorrow. My trainer is strict but he's definitely adaptable. My fats are coming from other sources so he just thinks I can't be having PB every day when I'm already getting enough fat for my daily needs.
