did you guys KNOW !!!!

a teaspoon of peanut butter is 15-16g not 32g. so if your cutting up and you think your workout is good as well as your diet but nothing seems to burn fat this may be the problem. you may be eating 32g of peanut butter thinking its 1 teaspoon so you go ahead and grab another serving leading to 64g. instead of having 2 teaspoons you just had 4.

My natty peanut butter is 8.5g fat for 1 tbsp which is tablespoon am i blind or whats up?
I suggest using the label measuring spoons! Not your dinner where. Make a level scoop!!!
Or even better heat your PB, and pin 3cc of it Intramusclary!!!
jk dont do it lol
I'm prob going to get some shit for saying this but if the OP or his friend can't properly dose peanut butter than he really has no business using anabolic steroids. /end thread
Everyone starts somewhere.
The journey of 1000 servings of PB starts with one tbsp
..its when you start to stack compounds that it gets tricky. How much peanut butter would you run with your almond butter and oral olive oil? Got to get those synergistic effects going
did you KNOW!!!!
That a teaspoon (tsp) of peanut butter** is approximately 8g
That a Tablespoon (tbsp) of peanut butter** is approximately 16g
That one serving of peanut butter** is usually 2 tbsp or 32g
That the tablespoon is the bigger spoon in your silverware drawer.
The only mistake you can make is to think a teaspoon is a tablespoon. In which case the error will be in your favor as you will be taking one half of the amount of peanut butter you think you are.
bimmerm3 hit it on the head.
**peanut butter, smooth style
I think you are confused man. regardless of the sat fat vs mono or poly unsaturated fat argument. 1 serving of peanut butter is 2 TABLE spoons which equals 32 gams, not a teaspoon as you stated. Also how the hell could you end up having 10 servings unintentionally. Seems like your over complicating things bro. Grab some measuring spoons, pull the tbls off the ring, grab some pb level it out, eat it. Thats 16 grams right there. If your really anal you could weigh it but 1 or 2 grams isn't a big deal at all.
Honestly I do it all the time. I ate ten chickens today by accident.
trolloz
Lmfao yea bro. I also confused one protein shake with 10 today. I mean it was close right?
Well call me strange but If I am cutting I probably would not eat a spoon full of peanut butter. Or a few, that would be cheating. But here it is
Most people don't know the difference between a TSP and a TBSP
or t and T
I am a pro chef, and this is probably a more efficient title for your thread
Do you know the difference between a TSP and a TBSP
When you are measuring a liquid you measure it by volume, which is a TSP or TBSP. You do not measure it by weight. I would classify peanut butter as an emulsification, or liquid.
You never hear some one say I drink 3,780 grams of water a day.
basically with all calories, doses, exercises, and even time. This is subjective to the person involved in the measuring. Time passes different for two people blindfolded sitting in the same quiet dark room. Calories treat all people different. You wont be able to benefit greatly from reading box instructions on gear then dosing, you need to experiment to find your sweet spot, and surely you wont go out and shoot 1000 free throws a day and be like Mike.
Peanut butter weighs 15-16g per TSP, Is this your hypothesis?
After reading my own post i realize that a level flatten TSP is not a heaping TSP
I thought i would throw that out there. If YOU MUST eat peanut butter, I suggest you take away all the variables when measuring it. I just use what the calories say on a package as a guideline when dieting. If your fat, eat less cardio more, if skinny eat more.
If your cutting why would you eat PB? LOLz
Why would you eat peanut butter, well..most people still eat some healthy fats when they cut. I typically eat about 60-80 grams. no way I can get that from oats, egg whites and chicken. Not to mention its definalty a little treat and it only gets better the longer you have been cutting.
I never said i eat peanut butter i said my friend does, i actually get my fats from almonds or olive oil. The whole point of all this was that he was eating extra serving delaying his cut, that simple.
Ok, well w/e almonds/pb just as good. Either way though man everyone here is just trying to help because some where along the line you guys misinterpreted the label. I'm going to assume that you are a red-blooded american just like myself and your jar of pb reads pretty close to the same as mine. "serving size : 2 TBLSPN (32g)" where as the acronym tblspn = table spoon. Theres a difference between a teaspoon which is what you stated and a tablespoon which is what the nutrition facts on the label state. If you were logging your food which I assume you were or your friend w/e, how were you eating an extra serving and not knowing it?
So let me enlighten you a little more my man. The difference in a saturated fat and a unsaturated fat. A saturated fat has NO double bonds and is a pretty linear molecule. This linear shape results in the saturated fats being able to stack on top of one another very tightly, a reason for fat gain. However, unsaturated fats, such as whats mostly in peanut butter have a different molecular shape. In an unsaturated fat there us a double bond which kinks the molecule. Think of this as the letter L a bit dramatic but it works. Because of this kink in an unsaturated fat the other unsaturated fats CANNOT stack closely together. As a result, fat is not accumulated. Also, When Carbs are broken down they break down into their monomers, glucose. Now glucose is stored in the fat cells by insulin. So a poor diet along with too many bad carbs will make you fat. Not two teaspoons of peanut butter
no let me enlighten you my man, lets say your trying to get 110g of fats from peanut butter. obviously other foods will bring the numbers down. for example a cup of oats has about 6g of fat bringing down your fat macros to 104g. to get 104g of fats from peanut butter your going to have to eat peanut butter with every meal not just a post workout shake, every meal. healty fat or not if you mistake 32g of fat for 1 serving and your eating peanut butter with every meal than that just push the calories up as well as pass your macros. 1 serving of peanut butter is 100 calories if im not mistaken. having 9 extra serving will fuck you up
Go enroll in a biology class bro. Then we can continue this. You are treating ALL fats the same. Which they are not. Just like all carbs are not the same.
and sure maybe my friend don't have genes like i do but ill go with my gut on this one that 9 extra servings of peanut butter will definitely ruin your diet. easily confuse 100g of fat for 200g.
I am not sure it is easy to confuse 2:1 good sir
or 1:2
Think about that again. +1 for effort though
You could be Mitt Romney s go to guy on math LOL jk! No offense!
obviously they're different types of fats, you have your saturated fats, along with your monounsaturated fats. carbs you have complex and simple -_- and there could be different types of protein as well. some that digest better than others for example protein from walmart or optimum nutrition. egg whites to chicken. i know my stuff, and the whole point of this post was for people to be aware
And my point is to give correct nutritional information. Actually you have saturated fats and unsaturated fats. Under unsaturated fats are monounsaturated fats and polyunsaturated fats. Each containing an additional double bond in the molecule making them harder to stack compactly. Am I suggesting eating a jar of peanut butter a day? Absolutely not. But a single serving which contains only 2g of saturated fats is not going to hurt you. As far as the protein you mentioned. No they are not different types of protein. When protein is predigested it is known as whey protein. Of course you have protein from soy and plant But the difference in Walmart and nutrition isn't different proteins. It's different quality of protein and who uses better techniques to Pre digest it and make a more efficient protein.
I'm over this post. I will not argue bro. I've made it into med school and majored in nutrition before entering. I'm not claiming to know everything. I'm just claiming to know more than you lol
Matter of fact I'm eating some peanut butter right now in dedication to this thread.
BostonFuck all that. Its all bullshit. Heres the deal. A guy whos say an ectomorph with a crazy metabolism can eat whatever the fuck they want and not get fat MOST of the time. It all depends on alot. Activity level, training frequency, rest, all that shit comes into play. Now a mesomorph or endo is gonna have more of a problem with lots of fat. But he may not! It all depends bro. For you to say that 200g of fat per day or too much pb is why your friend cant get ripped may or may NOT be correct.
ok you guys sound real ignorant,peanut butter is healthy right? go eat a whole jar, it wont make you fat -_- no matter if its healthy or not if you pass your macros it will covert to fat. if your cutting up it will only delay you progress.
I don't eat peanut butter. Thank you though.
Fat is not what makes you fat.. If you convert your body's system to use fat as the primary source of energy and carbs as secondary, you'll be fine. The problem is most people take in poor ratio's of protein, carbs and fat which causes insulin levels to fluctuate to much and store excess carbs, fat & protein as fat.
besides the fat in peanut butter is unsaturated which is healthy fats. Not gonna get fat from that. You are right K.Bear
I don't think seeing no results will come down to a few extra teaspoons of peanut butter lol but good point
lol bro you'd be surprise, i have a friend who started cutting up with me at about a month ago, im around 7% bodyfat 198lbs he still around 12%. so i took a look at his diet and it seemed pretty good. he workout with me so i know hes working out good. after the gym today he came over to my house since he got locked out and he saw me make my shake, weighing even the peanut butter and that's when it hit him that hes been eating way to many teaspoons of peanut butter all his bodybuilding life lol. he thought 32g was a serving but its actually 2.
BostonLolz. Bro i promise you, an extra few teaspoons of pb isnt gonna do what you are saying it is. Im sorry but you are wrong. Cam, bear, you are right.
yes but two extra teaspoons of peanut butter a day is not going to make you fat. The consumption of healthy fats, such as unsaturated fats found in peanut butter, actually promote fat loss. This DEF was not the bulk of what was wrong with his diet. Firstly you two have different genetics. You may be lean and he isnt as lean following the same diet and excise down to a tee because he could be predisposed to having genetics that hold on too fat tighter than your genetics. Its proven that people whos ancestors underwent famines have mutations in their genome to conserve fat more easily. Maybe he was sneaking late night snacks, but I ensure you two extra teaspoons of peanut butter was not the reason for a 5 percent difference in bodyfat
i understand what your saying your totally right with genes but when your trying to get 100g of fats in your diet. 100g can easily become 200g of fat with this mistake.
But the point is that 2 teaspoons a day of peanut butter is not the reason bro its just not. It comes down to 50 percent genetics and 50 percent diet and exercise. I have a friend who eats pizza, ice cream, cake, and any and every bad food out there. He works out hard. He is 205 pounds completely ripped, id guess 7 percent. What your saying is just poor understanding of how the body REALLY works and nutrition
