is peanut butter a good idea - UK-Muscle Body Building Community

philipebrown · 09-07-2004, 09:48 AM

I am busy adjusting my diet from a cutting diet to a bulking one, i am keeping everything the same at the moment ie meal times and protein intake etc..

I have written a plan where over a period of 4 weeks i start to add more food to each basic meal untill i am around 5000kcals ED, I am currently around 2500 i think.

This basically includes slowly reintroducing pasta, rice, bananas, other fruit, milk, more oats and generally more calories. I have also included adding peanut butter to my oats and maybe my protein shakes. I understand that peanut butter is high in protein and good fats and is a very high calorie good energy food perfect for bulking. Is this a good idea as i really dont wanna gain too much fat from eating too much peanut butter. I heard some people actually use it in cutting diets?

just use it in moderation, its an excellent bulking food.

Good stuff mate, its a better fat than most. Did you know that peanuts are the number one allergic food?

Peanuts are half fat and the other half is protein and carbs.
Peanut butter is not a bad way to add calories when you need to add some fat in with the shake.
That stuff tasts good too in the shake.
You can use milk, or juice, banana and some protein powder and some peanut butter. Good fats but I would not use the peanut butter to get your protein as it is mostly fat in the peanut butter.
But yes you can do this and alot of guys do.
The people at my gym have a proetin shake meal and they add peanut butter to their zone shakes to get the 40-30-30 ratio. Otherwise it would be a low fat protein/carb shake.
