Just get natural peanut butter, the kind you have to mix the separated fat back into, not the hydrogenated super market version. For a change of pace try almond butter. Remember though, as Roland pointed out, peanut butter is high in fat. It may be a healthy fat, but those calories do add up.

So much so that in most brands of peanut butter there can be three times as much fat than protein or carbs. Next time you grab a jar of peanut butter do yourself a favour and read the contents lable. <b>It's not worth trying to obtain your nutrients from peanut butter because fat always comes along for a free ride.</b><br />Rockin Roland <br /> </td></tr></table><br /><br />I try to improve the protein/fat ratio by pouring off the separated oil that is usually collected at the top of the jar. I haven't ever weighed it to get a quantitative handle on how effective it is. Another problem with peanut butter is that it is hard to find it with out added salt. I always check the label carefully to make sure that it is salt free. Another essential label check is make sure that it hasn't been "partially hydrogenated" to convert more of the liquid oil to solid triglycerides.<br /><br />One further comment about salt - which is unnecessarily dumped into so many processed foods that it is almost impossible to keep it down to a dull roar unless you have a lot of time to spend preparing foods from scratch. The RDA for sodium is given as 2400 mg and so-called average Calorie requirement is 2200, so it should be in about a 1/1 ratio, right? Take a look at those two numbers on a few labels. It is almost impossible to find products that have less than 1 mg of sodium for every Calorie. On the other side, it is very easy to find ratios of 4/1, 5/1, and on up to 12/1 (especially for soups which are touted as being so GD healthy). I just checked out a jar of olives and it was over 15/1, even though olives are loaded with Calorie-rich oil.<br /><br />Whoops - time to get off that soapbox.<br /><br />regards,<br /><br />Bob S.

Since the caloric content of foods varies a great deal, using weight per weight is much too ambiguous. Since the recommended values of mg of sodium and Calories is so close to 1/1 (less than 10% off), it is very convenient to remember and use.<br /><br />Thanks for posting that.<br /><br />Bob S.
