QUIZ...
A two-tablespoon serving of peanut butter is roughly equal to:
A - a pair of dice
B - a ping-pong ball
C - your pinky finger
The answer is - B - a ping-pong ball!  Although peanut butter packs a wallop of fat (16 grams) and calories (190), at least it provides nutrient-rich calories and half the fat is nutritious mono fats.  So don’t necessarily avoid it, but do keep that ping-pong ball visual in mind when making your next PB&J, or when tempted to just dig in with a spoon!  OK - I prefer almond butter and an AB&J on protein bread is my emergency go-to, especially f I am not sure when or where my next meal might be, best example - traveling!
