I know it must sound like I cut a lot of things out of my diet for 2 years while I was losing weight. I really didn&#8217;t, I just cut out a few things I knew I couldn&#8217;t eat in moderation. I had to retrain my brain to make good choices, learn portion sizes, and decide WHICH calories I wanted to eat.<\/p>\n<p>Peanut butter is pretty high in calories. For 2 years, it was all about the numbers. Did I want to eat 200 calories in peanut butter? Or perhaps &#8220;spend&#8221; that 200 calories somewhere else? But in denying myself peanut butter, I was also denying my body good fat, protein, and fiber!<\/p>\n<p>Peanut butter is an excellent fuel food. When I started my running routine, I started reading and researching what I should be eating. I wanted to have energy and stamina. Over and over again, I read peanut butter was the secret! It&#8217;s so filling too! So eat a serving size (2 tablespoons) of peanut butter on some crackers, or fruit (apples and bananas are yummy) before working out and see the difference!<\/p>\n<p>I prefer Skippy Natural peanut butter to the others out there I&#8217;ve tried. The Boy likes Jif and spreads it on tortilla chips (eeew). Recently I picked up the TJ&#8217;s brand. Not sure if I like it yet&#8211;it&#8217;s a little creamier than I&#8217;m used to.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>For two years, I stopped eating peanut butter.
