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.

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

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!

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. Most people eat 1tblsp or less.

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.

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.

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

Explain why you claim this.

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

Once again, Why?

Because people don’t overeat raw avacado slices or walnuts as fat sources. But they certainly do overeat peanut butter. It isn’t about good or bad. It’s about being realistic about what most peanut butter even is. If you want to include it, go right ahead. But most are over consuming it when it’s super calorie dense and processed, and most are also not eating the plain variety, but instead highly commercial processed product like jiffy or pick whatever off the shelf brand.

I'm sorry but nuts are so easy to over-eat! who are you kidding. Along with avOcado. Your take or opinion on peanut butter is strange too. You don't know what you're talking about.

You may not be eating enough and your body may be hoarding calories. This was a problem for me for a couple of months.

If I were you I would do this-

Add a small 2-300 protein shake with oatmilk or water base in the morning.

Try eating your protein you normally have for dinner (this should really just be chicken) and double your normal amount, with veggies only no rice or potatoes right after your work out. When do you work out? I workout midday so this works well for me.

Then what ever meal is not right after your workout, do a small amount of protein (maybe a 1/3 of what your post workout meal is) and heavy veg or small amount of GF pasta/carbs.

After workout meals need to include carbs. This is bad advice.
