In a recent article published on ourfoundation.com, the potential pitfalls of using peanut butter as a weight loss aid are highlighted. Here's what you need to know to make the most of this nutritious food while avoiding unwanted weight gain.
Mistake 1: Overestimating Protein Content Many people assume peanut butter is a high-protein food, but it is actually much higher in fat and calories than protein. Consuming it in large amounts could lead to weight gain rather than loss.
Mistake 2: Overeating Due to Calorie Density Peanut butter is energy-dense, making it easy to consume more calories than you realise, especially when eating large spoonfuls, generous spreads, or frequent little tastes.
Mistake 3: Not Measuring Portions Accurately Underestimating portion sizes can lead to unintentional overconsumption. Using a food scale to weigh peanut butter can help control portion sizes.
Mistake 4: Using Peanut Butter as a Protein Substitute Because it’s not as rich in protein as foods like eggs, lean meat, or Greek yogurt, relying on peanut butter to meet protein needs can result in consuming excess calories from fat.
Avoiding these mistakes—being mindful of portion sizes, calorie content, and peanut butter’s nutritional profile—is crucial for effective weight loss while still enjoying this nutritious food.
