[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What do you eat?
[/quote]
I’m in a deficit.

I eat oatmeal with fruit and PB every morning, tuna or chicken for lunch with hummus and veggies, and a traditional meat/veggie/rice-sweet potato for dinner.  Very boring. [/quote]

[b]Ditch the PB! That is adding a ton of calories for no good reason.[/b]

I have been in your shoes. The reason that the scale doesn't move a ton is due to the calorie intake. If you aren't keeping track of the calories and doing the math, you won't lose weight.

Also, you must have patience. It drops slowly over time. So you may be losing .2 or .5 lbs, which you cannot "see" immediately but it will add up over a few months.

Good work, OP![/quote]

This is utter BS. PB has protein and fat and is therefore satiating. Also a serving size is 2tblsp - at 180 calories. Have you ever seen what 2tblsp of PB looks like? it's a lot. [b]Most people eat 1tblsp or less[/b].  [/quote]

I will disagree with this and say most people eat way more than a tbsp. Unless you weigh it out you are eating way more.

That said, calories are king. If you are in a deficit it doesn't matter where those calories come from. Obviously some food will make you feel better and keep you full longer but at the end of the day a calories is just energy.[/quote]

Agree with this. And the quantity that one can fit on one tablespoon varies.  Weigh out fats like pb.  What is actually one service will probably surprise you and be much less than you think. [/quote]

Beyond that, If you really want fat in your diet and are trying to lose weight [b]getting it through peanut butter is a terrible idea[/b]. [/quote]

Explain why you claim this. [/quote]

What about eggs? PB is fine on a weekly basis (as a small treat), [b]but i wouldn’t recommend it daily.[/b] [/quote]

Once again, Why?[/quote]

Because PP is one of those people who ascribe values like good and bad to certain foods.  [/quote]
