I am a vegetarian,
and I eat alot of peanut butter,
but latley ive been wondering if it is really worth the fat content,
or if the fat is actually unhealthy.

I have Kraft peanut butter usually and

Per 1 Tablespoon there is
90 Calories
12% Fat
8% Saturated + Trans Fat

calcuim 2%
iron 4%
vitamin E 8%
Thiamin 6%
niacin 10%
folate 15%
magnesuim 8%
Oh,
I'm not exactly looking to lose or gain any weight.
I just dont want to be eating too much peanut butter and suddenly put on 30 pounds.
By the way i am 15 years old, and i know my body needs lots of nutrients.
 
yes it is, PB is very high in protein per serving as well as very rich in GOOD fats which are found in peanuts. these good fats help your body and DONT get sored as fat!
 
Peanut Butter has ample amounts of monosaturated and polysaturated fats. These fats control your good and bad cholesterol levels and are heart healthy. I've read that three tablespoons a day should be the limit.

There's a Peanut Butter that's actually pretty good called BETTER THAN PEANUT BUTTER, which you can get at any Walgreens Store. It's somewhat pricey ($4.29) here in Nashville, but you get the following per tablespoon: 50 calories, 1 g fat.

If you don't like the taste of Better Than Peanut Butter, You can mix a little of it with regular or reduced fat peanut butter to cut calories and fat.
