Depends on the amount you ate. The whole jar at one sitting is not a good idea. A t. or so for a snack will fill you up (but so will a cup of broccoli). Nuts are very fatty (peanut, soy, coconut, almond, chashew, etc. oil) and high in calories.
Question does not say it all. Calories in < less than calories burned = weight loss.
well. wut if someone ate a peanut butter sandwhich everyday, and expected it to help them lose weight?
Again, it would depend on the number of other calories the person consumed that day.
Gain muscle if you’re exercising, or fat if lazy. The muscle will help you burn calories, so it’s a both-wayer.
It would help you lose weight if you lather it on your face before going for your daily jog.
Really.
Try it.
More likely to gain weight. Peanut butter is fatty, but high in protein. It is still healthy, but better consumed with a muscle building routine, and muscle building typically increases weight. So probably avoid peanut butter.
Or rub it on your face.
There was some good information on this in another thread.
Ummm, peanut butter is loaded with fat (good fat) and sugar, usually. It is an awesome source of protein though. I love it! I suggest taking a big spoonful, enjoying it, then take a brisk walk around the block a few times.
Peanut butter, either home-made (in food processor) or health food store has no sugar. One doesn’t miss it.
Peanut butter is high in caories (with nutritional value,)
processed bread is high in empty calories. If I were going to add foods to loose weight I would add fruits and vegetables, at least 5 cups a day. They will fill you up and leave less room for higher calorie foods.
A good snack is a stalk or two of celery, lightly filled w. quality peanut or some other nut butter.
