Should i feel guilty after eating peanut butter?!


Question: Should i feel guilty after eating peanut butter?
I had a plain peanut butter sandwich on whole wheat bread today after my workout, with an apple (dinner)
I'm still under my calorie intake and fat percentage for the day. Should i feel guilty just because of that peanut butter has a lot of fat in it? I dont eat sweets, and i really dont wanna gain back any weight because i have lost 15lbs. Thanks so much

Answers:

All natural nut butters (and nuts in general) are one of the healthiest things that you can eat, FAT AND ALL. Same goes with eggs and many other natural food sources.

YES, natural, unaltered fats (even saturated) are one of the best things that you can eat for health and leanness, and what most people should be consuming instead of all those toxic sugars and carbohydrates they choose to eat to much of instead. Dietary natural fat/cholestrol intake isn't what makes you fat, nor promotes high fat/cholesterol blood levels...excessive sugar/net-carb intake does that.

People who still follow the outdated Low-Fat / Higher-Carb dieting mantra, founding upon nutritional myths and faulty, biased studies with hydrogenated and homogenized fats are doing nothing but hurting themselves and promoting weight gain and a host of chronic health conditions such as diabetes, high cholesterol/fat blood levels (heart disease), etc.

If you properly educate yourself on nutrition, then you will discover that the ONLY fats you have to avoid are the mutated, altered ones which confuse the body and aren't digested properly. That includes all hydrogenated/trans fats, homogenized fats (like what you find in most commercial mainstream dairy), and the overly-refined, super-heated, rancid oils/fats found in most heavily processed foods.

Over 50% of my daily 2500-3000 calorie intake has been from healthy, natural fats for several decades now (and LOTS of that is from various nuts, along with eggs), yet even at age 46 I am lean and healthy, with less than 10% body fat ratio. Also, my skin is still young looking and taunt, and people think that I'm 20 years younger than what I am.

Do some in-depth research and you will discover the nutritional myths and misinformation which has permeated our society for over a half-century now, and has steadily caused record levels of obesity and chronic disease with each new generation as a result.



peanuts themselves have a ton of fat..so any kind of peanut butter (even organic) is gonna have tons of fat in it. but it has monosaturated fat which is the "good fat". don't feel guilty, i eat it religiously



Don't feel guilty. While peanut butter does have fat, it also has protein to give you energy and strength to sustain your workouts. Great job on losing 15 pounds, I hope you meet your goal!



No problem don't harp upon that if you did not exceed your calorie intake.



Yes that was about 600 calories.
remember me? hahah



no, not if you havent gone over your fat intake yet.



not even!! its the bread you have to watch out for.. but you said you had whole wheat so dont feel guilty



Not at all, hope you enjoyed it!
