please tell me this is a joke. Peanut butter is not a good source of protein.

It is the same amount of protein as two eggs.

It’s only 8grams but you get a ton more calories and fat too.

On wheat bread yes is about 12 grams of protein.

Check your eating disorder hon.

3 snickers bars is the same amount of protein as 2 eggs.

I don't think saying peanut butter is a ton more fat and calories is disordered. (was not the one who posted that) If you just want protein and do not care about anything else then sure eat a tub of peanut butter or a million snickers bars or like my son says oreos becuse you get 1 g or protein in 2 cookies.

Main point is that things that are considered good protein sources tend to have a high ratio of protein to calories. Good way to evaluate a good/high protein source is to take the g or protein x 10. This number should be equal to or very close to the total calories. If it's significantly lower, Peanut butter (8 g protein in 190 cal) is 80 to 190. Then while that food has protein it is not really a good or high protein source. Again if you just want protein and don't care about calories then go for the peanut butter but if you were to get all your daily protein from peanut butter it would take 2400 cal of PB ot get 100 g or protein.

Yea you have an eating disorder

No eating disorder, i just know more about nutrition than you. Just because something contains protein does not make it a high or good protein source. If you wanted to eat 120 g or protein a day you would not focus on eating peanut butter. Just like if you wanted to eat 50g or fat per day you wouldn't focus on chicken breast. Both contain the macro nutrient you want, but are not really good sources. Peanut butter is a fat source not really a protein source. Again, nothing wrong with eating peanut butter. I love peanut better on an English muffin before a run, but that is because I want the fat and carbs not because I am looking for a high protein source.

Have a great day, hun.

Yikes, protein not punishment!

So gross. Why chicken legs? Thighs or breasts are so much better

But even with thighs and breasts ... if one were to boil them up, "salt it and put it in the fridge," and then a piece per day. And then drink the broth? Gag. The "chicken legs" part is the least of the problems here.

You’re so low class how do you make it through life.

Can I even function with so little protein in your body?

Of course peanut butter is a terrible source of protein. It’s great if you want to gain weight though.

I’m willing to bet 50% or more of the 40% of Americans that are obese over-consume allegedly healthy food like peanut butter.

Anybody in the category of “going to the gym now” as opposed to “I’m riding a bike for four hours and can’t keep weight on” or “I lift so heavy and train so hard I have to wake up to feed” shouldn’t be relying on peanut butter for a specific protein source.

Beyond that, you don’t need specific protein sources if you are at the level of 95% of adults in the US.

The OP wanted big protein meal ideas. Peanut butter is not high protein. It has protein but isn’t high protein. Why is this so hard to understand? No one is saying not to eat pb or that is bad. It just isn’t a very good protein source.

Why are you so obsessed with Prozac? Maybe you need more protein to balance out your mental state.

NP. Agree. I LOVE peanut butter and almond butter and have several spoonfuls daily. It is a protein source, yes, but I wouldn’t call a high protein source. Especially if you are trying to maximize protein while cut calories to lose weight-peanut butter should be a condiment with some bonus protein, but not your main protein source.

Per 180 calories of peanut butter you get 8 grams of protein. 180 calories of eggs =15 grams protein, 180 calories low fat Greek yogurt =25
Grams protein, 180 calories black beans= 12 grams protein, 180 calories edamame = 15 grams protein.

Just like hummus isn’t a good protein source, at all, but people seem obsessed with claiming it is a good “high protein” snack

12 g of protein is not a high protein meal. high protein is more like 30+ g.

A slice of toast with pb is not a meal. It’s either a snack or a component of a meal.

Add a side of edamame and a container of skyr with fruit and you are over 30.

Okay psycho. I have 2 pieced of wheat with peanut butter before my workout, it's easy fast travels well and its sustainable, has 25 grams of protein and I don't have an eating disorder so I'm not obsessing over macro's and micro's and fat vs calories ... idiocy.

Calm the f down girlfriend and if you can't up your Prozac.

WTH? I'm on the same side as you, saying that judging one slice of toast with peanut butter as not having enough protein for a whole meal is absurd since it's not a whole meal. It's one part of a meal. You eat two slices. That's a lot closer. I suggested adding fruit, yogurt and vegetables, and pointed out that doing so also meets the goal the PP mentioned. Not being satisfied with a meal of one slice of bread and peanut butter doesn't mean I have an eating disorder.

Protein shakes - I like bananas, ice, water, and chocolate collagen protein powder.

hardboiled eggs

I was going to go in the opposite direction. Get small cuts to put into the slow cooker, add vegetables, and broth and turn it into a stew

The reality is that people don’t look at labels.

Thank you! I regularly buy rotisserie chicken but for some reason pulling it off and shredding wears me down!
