I am a huge fan of nut butters (almond etc…) and I eat a lot of them. Due to the inexpensiveness, filling feeling, high energy and fast easy calories. I however feel that I need to balance my diet more. It has also been suggested to me that I cut back a bit on my intake of so much high fat foods. I am concerned about getting in the calories and feeling full if I cut out the nut butter. Plus I’m I just like them and feel addicted. It is also nice to feel full and it is such an easy way to get in the calories I need.
Does anyone have any suggestions on how to ease my way out of the nut butter habit and to a more balanced diet in which I still feel full and get the energy and cals I need day to day?
Wow, great post. I have the same problem. I’m totally addicted to PB & almond butter. I’m actually starting to think they add some addictive drug to PB.
I don’t have a high fat diet, but almost all fat I eat comes from PB & AB. I’ve tried adding olive oil to some of my foods, thinking it would reduce my craving for the nut butters, but I always need my nut butter fix, and the olive oil just became extra calories so I cut it out… I told my wife not to keep PB in the house, but she needs it for the kids…! I give up.
i eat 2 -3 servings of almonds/almond butter every day, also drink almond milk, also one serving of pumpkin seeds, thats basically 60 grams of fat a day right there, i had a blood test and my bad cholesterol levels are pretty much as low as it gets, almond fat is good fat, and almonds are ten times better for you than peanuts

Thanks and happy training

I find the section in bold very distubing. I mean the choice of words just brings out my inner teenager
I thought this post was going to be drooling over nut butters we like. Almond butter… and Dark Chocolate Dreams from Peanut Butter & Co.
Good company that makes peanut butter that has the shells, too - that stuff is the essence of peanuts in taste. Yum.
Sorry, what was the question? you were trying to cut back on the stuff? Avocado = fat and calories. Eggs = protein and filling and less calories. Cottage cheese too.
